A:
I've seen examples of clean, modular BASIC code that predate VB. In general, you can use any programming approach with any syntax, although some syntaxes encourage a particular style. The BASIC language is free-form enough that the style it tends to encourage is "messy". Over the years Microsoft has made an effort to introduce features in VB that promote more structure.

A:
QBasic (and presumably QuickBasic) had subroutines and functions which were (or at least could be) viewed and edited separately from the main program. While not file-level modularity, that does stand as one example.
