### Please select what you are reporting on:

Verse

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Verse

### Summary

Creating multiple layers of modules results in access issues.

### Steps to Reproduce

- Have the following directory structure:

- device.verse
- TopLevelModuleFolder
  - SubLevelModuleFolder
    - fileInModule.verse

- Add `using { TopLevelModuleFolder.SubLevelModuleFolder }` to `device.verse`

### Expected Result

Should be able to access things in `fileInModule.verse`

### Observed Result

`fileInModule.verse` cannot be accessed due to being “internal” to `TopLevelModuleFolder`

### Platform(s)

PC

### Additional Notes

There is no way to affect the module access level and change it to public if the module is defined by directory structure. Ideally, I can set both the `TopLevelModuleFolder` and the `SubLevelModuleFolder` to both be public somehow, allowing all files in each directory to be easily accessed.

I’ve attempted to add a `TopLevelModuleFolder.verse` with `TopLevelModuleFolder<public> := module {}` but that results in an “ambiguous” definition with the folder itself.

> Hi. How to access a nested folder’s module in Verse? For example, if I want to access a module in Sub3.verse placed in the Sub1/Sub2 folder, how should I write the using clause? Unfortunately, the code below did not work. using { /Fortnite.com/Devices } using { /Verse.org/Simulation } using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics } using { Sub1} using { Sub2} #Invalid access of internal module `(/localhost/MyProject230520/Sub1:)Sub2` using { Sub1.Sub2} #Invalid access of in…

Yep the problem is still a bug and should still be addressed. But thank you for referencing the other threads on this.
