make your entry point configurable:
// core entry point:
module.exports.libs = ['logger', 'morelib', /*all other*/];
module.exports.load = function load(libsToLoad){
var libs = {};
if(libsToLoad.indexOf('logger') >=0)
libs.logger = require('./logger');
//proceed for every entry in libsToLoad
return libs;
};
// client module
var core = require('core');
// check that lib can be loaded with core.libs
var libs = core.load(['logger']);
var logger = libs.logger;
hope it helps, i don't see any way to load a module out of the package. in
fact this would contradict the purpose of packages as they are meant
