If you only import MyModule.x, the method definitions for MyModule.p and MyModule.y are never loaded. You can define a new y function but that is not the same thing as overloading MyModule.y. julia> import MyModule.x; x() "x" julia> x(a)=1 x (generic function with 2 methods) julia> y() #MyModule.y not available ERROR: UndefVarError: y not defined julia> y()=2 #Define a new function y (generic function with 1 method) Jiahao Chen Staff Research Scientist MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
