No.  My scenario only had fileA include fileC, etc.  Which is if I now
understand correctly means that myprog can not call c:hello()  If myprog
directly included fileC then I would expect it to be able to call c:hello()
as easily as a:hello() and b:hello()

Regarding modularity, I guess this could be considered a practical solution.
My intuition tells me there is more to this issue however.  I'll have to
give it some more thought.
