Newbie IDLE - import issues

[Kenny Tilton]

I must misunderstand things badly.

Using IDLE: I have import statements where apparently necessary. I hit 
Ctrl-F5 and I see print statements at the end of imported modules fire.

But I still get errors on imported stuff being undefined.

Then I open the imported file and ^f5 it and then I can ^f5 successfully 
the importing file which before gave me an error.

any help with this would be appreciated. As is I end up having to open 
ten files and run them manually every morning.
