[julia-users] Define composite types in a different file - constructor not defined error

[Test This]

I have two files: dataTypes.jl and paramcombos.jl

In dataTypes.jl I have 

*type Params*
*     .*
*     . // field names and types*
*     .*
*end*



In paramcombos.jl I have 

*module paramcombos*

*require("dataTypes.jl")*


*function baseParams()*
*       params = Params( field1 = blah1, field2 = blah2, ...)*
*end*


*end*

 

In the julia repl if I do 

*require("paramcombos.jl")*


and then, 

*basep = paramcombos.baseParams()*


I get an error saying:

*ERROR: Params not defined*
* in baseParams at /Users/code/paramcombos.jl:33 (where 33 is the line 
shown above from baseParams() function. *


If I move type declaration to paramcombos.jl, things work fine. Is there a 
way to keep type definitions in one file and use the constructor in another 
file?

Thank you
