ok, I knew that ;)

this is not about init files but about libraries, i.e. the Outshine
Project libraries outshine.el, outorg.el and navi-mode.el. I'm preparing
release v2.0 right now, I'm almost done, but the former clear hierarchy
(standalone core lib outshine.el, dependent add-on libs outorg and
navi-mode) has vanished since I turned them into a kind of
'org-minor-mode', now they all depend on each other and use each
other. Breaking them up is not really an option.
I would just need advice
- if can make them all (require ...) each other without causing breakage?
- or if I should rather make one of them require the other two (which
on - the highest level lib navi-mode, or the lowest-level lib
outshine.el)?
