Description

The spec states that "an access import behaves as a traditional\ package import". Thus, I expect that cyclic import via access is possible between multiple modules, just as two Java packages can import each other. However, that's not supported by the compiler.

Yes.

When accurately written, the specification declares the state after some activity rather than the procedure for performing that activity. Thus all imports are accessible. How that is achieved is an implementation detail.
