Accessing variables created after import in imported files

[Darrell]

Hi Jesse

My take on this is that you have a mutual dependency to remove.
One possible solution:  Don't let file1 and file2 import each other.

Create file3:
import file1, file2

TheGame=file1.Game()
foo = file2.ThingThatUsesGameClass(TheGame)
