That's just name collision, because module is a valid symbol you 
need to be specific about what you are trying to access.

Try selective import instead

   import MyClass : MyClass;

Of course if there is more symbols needed you have to specify 
them as well after a comma.


Another option to save up on typing is renamed imports

   import mc = MyClass;

   mc.MyClass.parse(...)
