Fair enough. Thank you for leading me in the way.

So, according to the imports order, the compiler will or won't load the different variables/subs in the right order, so that in my example, we have :

========= OK test :
load A1
-> load A2
-> load C (but constant TYPE is not loaded already)
-> not load A2 (already 'used')
-> load constant TYPE
========= KO test :
load A1
-> load C (but constant TYPE is not loaded already)
-> load A2
-> not load C (already 'used')
-> fail because constant TYPE is not loaded

Is that right?

Ok. What about the "C->TYPE" vs "C::TYPE", the first being the one that always works whatever the 'use' order. Is that a "runtime" vs "compile time", as you pointed out?

Cheers.
