Your modules can make use of symbols (global variable and function names defined in module) exported by other modules. If you have two module and you want to make a communication between them, export few of the symbols of your modules so that they can be referred in your other modules and can make a communication thru it. Remember, symbols you exported will also be visible to all other modules, which might not be of yours, any other module can make use of it or can change it. Cheers !!
