`exportall` is a much better idea than `importunexported` from my post above. I.e. the child module would call `exportall` and the parent module would call either `importall` or `reexport` depending on whether it wanted the child's symbols to be exported or not. It looks like there has already been a bunch of activity around this question on the issue tracker. 1. The Reexport package already exists: https://github.com/simonster/Reexport.jl 2. There is an issue discussing adding `reexport/reexported` and `exportall` keywords: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/1986 3. There is an open pull request to merge some of this functionality into Base: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/5626
