👋 Just started learning Kodein. If I have 2 modules and module B needs to use an instance from module A is the best practice to import module A into module B? For example, subscribersModule needs the retrofit instance from `networkingModule`:

val networkingModule = Kodein.Module("networking") {
    bind<Retrofit>() with singleton {
        Retrofit.Builder()
            .baseUrl("<https://api.example.com/>")
            .build()
    }
}

val subscribersModule = Kodein.Module("subscribersModule") {

    import(networkingModule)

    bind<SubscribersService>() with singleton {
        instance<Retrofit>().create(SubscribersService::class.java)
    }
}

If you use your modules in a global container you don’t need to do this. instead, you can import them inside the global container like

val applicationContainer = Kodein {
    import(subscribersModule)
    import(networkingModule)
    // ...
}
