I don't think that this is the right way to go. What I view as the problem is that child packages have full visibility into the parent package, with no way to prevent it. Forward-declaring child packages doesn't solve this problem. >Does it bother you that subunits can access stuff in the parent *body*? Separate compilation and child package visibility into parent packages are not the same issue, IMO.
