in reply to Breaking up a big module

If private methods are really tied to module Foo then I don't see what is really gained by separating into separate module file? Are private methods re-used elsewhere?

    Just imagine that the Foo module is really, really large, and the goal is to break it up into a bunch of smaller modules. :)

      But breaking it up based on public/private is not very natural (as indicated by pwagyi). Have you considered breaking it up based on functionality e.g. by extracting helper classes/objects?

        :) Don't worry, I'm working on breaking it up along functional lines as well. This is a big project.
