I've got similar problems when I wrote my program. Try reading up on 
namespaces or searching for my older posts on this list. The basic 
principle is that eval or load don't use your modules namespace. The 
work on the top-level namespace (which is almost empty and certainly 
doesn't contain your module's imports or definitions). The correct way 
to do this is to create a new namespace, attach some modules to it, 
parametrize the current-namespace and then run eval inside it.

PS. When I return home I'll try to show some code examples. :)
