Do I just provide two filenames as inputs to the compiler ? I’m 
wondering if the compiler resolves the import statements rather 
than the linker - is that right? I only have a vague 
understanding of how the import statement works - pulling in 
digested intermediate-code or something?

Will in-line functions be inlined even if the called routine is 
across a module boundary?
