Well, submodules are what you want. But to my knowledge not a single....
compiler supports them up to now
As most compiler vendors will probably first concentrate on Fortran
2003 before going beyond (TR, F2008), you most likely have to wait a
few years before you see this feature. (You could lobby your vendor if
you need it earlier.)
While that sounds sensible, I have heard several vendor reps say
otherwise - that they have enough customer demand for submodules that
they intend to add that functionality before completing some parts of
f2003 (such as parameterized derived types, which apparently are among
the trickier things for implementors). Count that as hearsay; I heard
this in casual conversation rather than as any inside information, and
I'm sure it didn't count as anything like a commitment. So if you are
hot for it earlier, yes, it might be worth lobbying your vendor. In
fact, it might be worth more specifically because it sounds like you
wouldn't be the only customer asking for it.
