in thread Tk helps another package to export?

Well, actually 
use base qw(Foo Bar);

is more or less the same as 
    BEGIN {
        require Foo;
        require Bar;
        push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
    }

Which raises an interesting point, prototypes are not respected when a module is required. However they are when they are used.

    Wrong. Prototypes are not respected if they are defined too late (i.e. not in the compile time). In this case require is wrapped in BEGIN block so it is the compile time.
