I've taught Smalltalk to a lot of people.  Based on that experience, I
think you are heading in the wrong direction.  You probably shouldn't
be talking about modules, but about classes.  You shouldn't think
about a module that runs other modules.  Further, classes are objects,
so you usually don't pass names of classes around, but the classes
themselves.

Is this your first Smalltalk system?
