It sounds to me like the <object>__define module is
not the LAST module in the file, as it should be.
Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how anything like
this could happen. Remember, in automatic compilation,
IDL will search through and compile modules UNTIL it
gets the module with the right name. If this is the
LAST module, all is well. If it is not, then all the
modules below this module in the file cannot be found.
You want to get all your modules compiled when you
create the object (I.e., execute the <object>__define module.)

This really should not be required if the object code is
structured properly. Beyond putting the <object>__define module
last in the file, I typically assemble the rest of the modules
alphabetically (so I can find them easily), but all this is
completely arbitrary and up to you.
Cheers,
