problem with global scope after package import via __init__.py

I'd like to build a package out of several files as the individual files
are large and become inwieldy. Generally, I want a package user to
import package
only, and not worry about the individual files, so the __init__.py for
the package does
from file import *
for all the files in the package.
However, there seems to be a problem accessing scalars when the package
is imported in this fashion. The package files themselves can access the
scalar properly, but the package user cannot. Is this a bug?
I've checked the FAQ and the documentation and googled a bit, but can't
really find a description of this problem elsewhere.
The following shar file will create four tests on a simple package to
illustrate the problem. You can also grab a tar file from
http://mjfrazer.org/~mark/py.tar if you won't trust a shar.
1) run the shar file or extract everything from the tar file.
2) p/a.py p/b.py and p/c.py all run as expected (cd p and run them)
3) ./pass.py imports part 'a' of the package directly and all runs fine
4) ./fail.py imports the package via the package name, p. The __init__ for
the package brings in a. Referencing a scalar through the package fails.
BTW: I'm using python2-2.2-16 RPM from the RedHat 7.3 distro.
