Globalizing functions

[Anon]

Problem:
I am trying to create a completely modular piece of software. I thus want to avoid anything monolithic.

I have a root file which calls the other libraries. I want to get some of the functions I define in these libraries into global namespace, so that I don't have to redefine them in other places.

ie:

Root defines grabber function
|Grabber gets parser
|Grabber gets User handler
| |Defines Create_New_User()
| |Defines Change_User()
| |Defines Delete_User()
| |Defines Get_User_Info()
|Grabber gets Session Handler
|Defines Create_Session()
| |Needs Get_User_Info() to do it's job
|Defines Delete_Session()

Now I see three options:
1)Define a function in the global namespace(Root file) that pulls together the functions of User and Session
2)Place all my functions in the Global namespace and give up on the modularity idea.
3)Reinclude User into Session (Causing all kinds of redefinition errors..
4) Combine User (huge) with Session (tiny), where I would load User even in situations where I would not use it.

Someone please help with this. If it's possible to insert a function into the global namespace without having to resort to the methods above and keeping the modularity of the program, it would be a big help.

Have you looked at objects and classes?

I would look into class hierarchy as a structure for this

I can't think of any other way, you could always try dynamically creating functions at runtime, this might work

Doesn't help. They don't get stuck in the global namespace unless defined in the root file either.

You do know how classes and objects work? you can define one class and extend on it using other classes, thus adding to it's functionality, and you can even re-define functions as required.
