You can, but for readability and reuse I think it's better to be
explicit in each module and import the fully qualified module names
that are needed, rather than relying on some other module to import
them for you.

That surprises me also, but I suspect it's because they're
subdirectories of the current working directory rather than packages
found on the sys.path.
