My code worked fine when it was all in one file. Now, I'm splitting up classes into different modules. The modules have been given the same name as the classes. Perhaps this is a problem, because MainPage is failing when it is loaded. Does it think that I'm trying to inherit from a module? Can module/class namespace collisions happen? M...
