Is it 'third', 'second.third', or 'first.second.third'?
Perhaps you meant: 'first', 'first.second', or 'first.second.third'?
The case you mention presents an immediate ambiguity, but it is
clarified by the module declaration or on the first import. If
'first.second.foo' imports 'first.second.third.bar' by 'import
third.bar', and 'first.second.third.bar' has a module declaration or
is imported from somewhere else using a different package "path", the
compiler will generate an error ("Error: module X is in multiple
packages Y")
How do you define module fourth so that its 'package' functions are
accesssable only to modules in first.second.* and not in first.* ?
You don't. The package in this case should be first.second.third and
that's that. That's how it works in Java and is sometimes quite useful.
