[Tutor] reciprocal import

[christopher.henk at allisontransmission.com]

Although you generally would want to design so that this does not happen, 
if the import of the first module is only needed in some of the functions 
in the second module, you can include the import within the function 
definition and that would  work ok.
But you can't have the second import at the module level.

My first impression here is that this sounds like a bad class/module 
design if they're really that interdependent.
