No, don't introduce circular dependencies, and make it explicit what your functions operate on by passing things as parameters, instead of using global references. for example > file: main.py > > from Storage import store > from Initialise import init > from ProcessSteps import process > > storeList = store() #Creates a object to store Step objects > init() > process() It is *much* more preferable to pass 'storeList' as a parameter to your functions.

Keep it the way it is. It's wrong on too many levels to do it the other way. Cheers > Chris > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list >
