Because one of the basic principles of OO-programming is encapsulation, 
a module doesn't encapsulate anything. It's from OO point of view bad 
practice. That's why other OO languages don't have them. You should ask 
this same question on the REALbasic NUG itself and see the comments 
you'll get, probably better than mine and more in depth :-) (I don't 
have the time right now to write pages on good OO programming ;-))
