I'd like to be able to eval a custom language from inside a module... 
without instantiating modules multiple times.

With the help of Matthew Butterick, I've gotten this far:

; runtime.rkt
#lang racket
 

(printf "This is runtime.rkt~n")



; example.rkt
#lang racket

(require "runtime.rkt")

(provide foo)

(printf "This is example.rkt~n")

(define-syntax foo
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((foo)
     (printf "foo!~n"))))



; eval-example.rkt
#lang racket

(require racket/runtime-path)

(require "runtime.rkt")

(provide eval-example)

(define-runtime-path example "example.rkt")

(define example-namespace (make-base-empty-namespace))

(parameterize ((current-namespace example-namespace))
  (namespace-require example))

(define (eval-example code)
  (parameterize ((current-namespace example-namespace))
    (eval code)))


however this instantiates runtime.rkt twice:

$ racket eval-example.rkt
This is runtime.rkt
This is runtime.rkt
This is example.rkt

 
which turns out to be bad (for example, if I define a struct in the 
runtime, I end up having a different struct types).  I want there to be a 
single copy of the runtime.rkt module (much like if I had said (require 
"runtime.rkt") from two different modules).

What I want to do is rather simple (I hope): define a custom language in a 
module such as example.rkt, and then be able to eval that language.

Is there a way to do this?
