What do you mean quits working?  Fails to compile, or link, or execute properly?

Your examples are somewhat incomplete, but I strongly suspect they're the same as one of these old bugs:

Fails to compile:

b.d(4): Error: undefined identifier package std.file

It is slightly different in that module 2 doesn't import module 1. 

If you compile them together (dmd mod1.d mod2.d) it works. By it's self though (dmd mod2.d -c), module 2 doesn't work.

Sounds like a new one, though potentially related.  Would you put together a bug report with the repro steps.
