+This example tests the %import directive and working with multiple modules.
+
+Use 'lua runme.lua' to run a test.
+
+Overview:
+---------
+
+The example defines 4 different extension modules--each wrapping
+a separate C++ class.
+
+ base.i - Base class
+ foo.i - Foo class derived from Base
+ bar.i - Bar class derived from Base
+ spam.i - Spam class derived from Bar
+
+Each module uses %import to refer to another module. For
+example, the 'foo.i' module uses '%import base.i' to get
+definitions for its base class.
+
+If everything is okay, all of the modules will load properly and
+type checking will work correctly. Caveat: Some compilers, for example
+gcc-3.2.x, generate broken vtables with the inline methods in this test.
+This is not a SWIG problem and can usually be solved with non-inlined
+destructors compiled into separate shared objects/DLLs.
+

+If you know how, you could copy the python or ruby example dsw & dsp and try editing that
