If you just want to include modules in other modules, use the modules file
<http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC155>. I assume you want 3
working directories that look like:

1. ProdSource/
2. QASource/
        qa_sourse/
        ProdSource/
3. DevSource/
        dev_source/
        QASource/
                qa_source/
                ProdSource/

The DevSource module would include dev_source and reference QASource, which in
turn would include qa_source and reference ProdSource. What limitation in the
module mechanism do you see that doesn't support this model? Am I missing
something?
