This is not a bad idea but there some rules to follow. request, response, session, cache, T are global objects in web2py so if you import a function from a module, you have to pass those 5 objects to the function (not all of them, only those you need). You probably want to pass your database connection too.
All the other web2py keywords can be imported from your modules as needed.
