If you tell DMD that your import path is the 'root' the one which contains  
'main' then in /main/something/moda.d you could write "import  
main.gui.modb;". Likewise, in /main/gui/modb.d you would write "import  
main.something.moda;".

The import package/module/file is relative to the import path root(s). The  
file sc.ini in dmd/bin/ tells it where the import path root(s) are, eg:

DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\src\phobos;%@P%\..\..\src"

The -I is for import paths, note that I have added %@P%\..\..\src (I'm on  
windows), this is my import path root for most of my D source code. %@P%  
resolves to the dmd/bin directory.
