Hi i solved it by generating lines form python and appending them to
''userSetup.mel', that way you let Maya take care of all loading priorities
stuff.
Once imported you can do what you want inside your modules.
example:
python("import interface.mayaDialogs as md"); // Source or 'import' the
interface.mayadialogs.py as md
python("myIntegration=md.mainMenuBar()"); // Intantiate the md.mainMenuBar
class inside the module
-M
