Bug in imports

I have a rather complex setup of interfaces inheriting from each
other in multiple modules.
Everything was working fine until I added a new interface and
included it at the end of a public imports list:
...
<about 20 module imports>
...
public import newModule;
newModule contains an interface which I use with other interfaces
in other modules.
After doing this I end up with a lot of forward reference errors.
I put the import at the front and everything worked fine. e.g.,
public import newModule;
...
<about 20 module imports>
...
Luckily newModule does not depend on any previous modules else I
imagine I would end up with a circular reference that would be
impossible to fix easily.
---------------
module A;
import modules;
interface iA : iB { ... }
interface iAA { ... }
----------
---------------
module B;
import modules;
interface iB : iAA { ... }
----------
---------------
module modules;
public import A;
public import B;
/* or
public import B;
public import A;
*/
----------
I don't have time to try this out but this is what seems to be
going on in my program(just renamed and shorted everything).
