Yes. This:
from service import xxx
is essentially the same as:
import service
xxx = service.xxx
At that point, xxx contains a reference to the "service.xxx" object as it
is right now. When you do a reload, that imports a new version of
"service.xxx", but your global "xxx" object is still bound to the old one.
