But now it is clear, thanks. More generally, you should arrange your imports so that there are no cycles. If module/script "a" imports "b", directly or indirectly, "b" should not try to import "a." Move the common code to a third place, and import it from both "a" and from "b". The other symptoms you can get are more subtle than this one, but just as surprising. -- DaveA
