How does the module system actually work?

Currently all of my files in my project look something like this:

module ConstraintSetMod

using ..DatasetMod

export ConstraintSet, ...

struct ConstraintSet
  ... fields ...
end

... functions ...

end

And I have a file called include.jl that looks like this:

# Include all files

include("types.jl")
include("dataset.jl")
include("constraint_set.jl")
include("cluster_set.jl")

carefully arranged in the right order such that each file depends only on files that come before it in this list.

It really seems like I’m doing something wrong here, but I have spent a lot of time looking for alternatives without finding anything that looked reasonable. How does the module system actually work?
