I am proposing that within a given running NETCONF agent,
that the [sub]module names are unique.  You cannot have
multiple "vlan" modules within the same agent.  That
implies that all import/include searches will use the
same algorithm, but the spec can be silent about that.

(Multiple versions of the vlan module within a single agent
is a different problem.)
