Except for the warnings, this sounds exactly like how it works now.
Here's how I tested this (maybe you can change it to cause the problem
you're having, since I suspect that it just wasn't clear what you meant):

file bar.ex:

--- begin file
include foo.e as Foo

global procedure foo(sequence foo)
	printf(1, "%s: bar.ex\n", {foo} )
end procedure

Foo:foo("foo")
foo("bar")
--- end file

file foo.e:

--- begin file
global procedure foo( sequence foo)
	printf(1, "%s: foo.e\n", {foo})
end procedure
--- end file
