how can I reference a list of modules, from inside another module?

inside my application onCreate, I've got the following:

startKoin {
    androidContext(this@MyApplication)
    modules(listOf(
        newsModule
    ))
}

and then my newsModule looks like this:

val newsModule = module {
    listOf(
        networkModule,
        uiModule
    )
}

unfortunately, this doesn't work.. it builds, but everything provided inside networkModule and uiModule isn't accessible. how can I achieve this?

What’s the use case for doing this? If you define a dependency in a modules block, that dependency should be accessible everywhere

okay yeah I can explain. I'm working with an Android application which has an app Android-module, and multiple other Android-modules. one of those other Android-modules is called news.

so what I would like to do is simply have the app call startKoin on the primary newsModule, and then newsModule might have a list of other modules inside of it, which app doesn't need to refer to

Try:

startKoin {
    androidContext(this@MyApplication)
    modules(newsModule)
}

val newsModule = listOf(
    networkModule,
    uiModule
)
