I made a small mistake in the example, it should read like this:

myVariable1 = "myVal1" ;
constant myVariable2 : "myVal2" ;

module anotherModule {
   echo "myVal1 is: " [ modules.peek <NAME_OF_GLOBAL_MODULE> : myVariable1 ] ;
   echo "myVal2 is: " [ modules.peek <NAME_OF_GLOBAL_MODULE> : myVariable2 ] ;
}

The question is still the same.
