Hi Alex I don't think so. com.baz declares "requires public com.bar", so com.baz decide which com.bar is readable, in this case, decide which com.bar is used by com.foo Consider the following scenario, which is the common usage of implied readability com.baz provides the following service: public Object1 getObject(); Object1 is a class defined in com.bar, please not com.bar@2 is not visible to com.baz(indeed to avoid conflict, only one com.bar can be visible/readable to com.baz), so com.baz construct an Object1 of com.bar@1 during getObject() is invoked, and then com.foo get this Object1 instance, now com.foo can only use type Object1 of com.bar@1 to interpret it, who guarantee what Object1 of com.bar@2 is?! So here the type must be definite, M2 requires public M1, M3 requires M2, then which M1 is read by M2, which M1 must be readable to M3. It's not related to Layer actually. Frank > > Alex
