A can only import f from B if f has been exported from B so while its not a problem for A, whenever anyone issues a library(B) f will be visible on the search path -- the problem of potential conflicts with f remains. B really only exported f so that A could import it but a side effect of that is that anyone who puts B on the search path makes f visible. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
