Private modules can only be used in the entry file

[bitzoic]

When creating a folder structure for libraries, we have the following example:

my_project/
├── src/
│   ├── main.sw      # entry file
│   ├── other.sw     # Our library
│   └── other/
│       └── lib.sw   # Private module for other.sw
└── Forc.toml

Our library is defined in other.sw, however we have some helper functions in other/lib.sw we would like to keep private. This currently results in the following error:

With the following project structure this does not occur:

my_project
├── src
│   ├── main.sw      # entry file
│   └── other.sw     # Private module
└── Forc.toml

Example main.sw:

library;

pub mod other; // This is a public library

Example other.sw:

library;

mod lib; // Not a public library

use lib::PrivateStruct; // Error occurs here

// Public function
pub fn foo() {
    let my_struct = PrivateStruct { val: 0 };
}

Example other/lib.sw:

library;

pub struct PrivateStruct {
    pub val: u64,
}

I can't reproduce this behavior. My guess is that the issue has been solved by one of these two commits:
