I don't think so. Instances are automatically propagated, they can't be 
hidden once they're in scope. Functor, Monad, Either and (->) are all 
available in the Prelude, so unless you have NoImplicitPrelude, the 
instances ought to be in scope from any transitive dependency.
And they are in scope for me when I import Control.Monad.Error or 
Control.Applicative, so something is amiss if they're not in scope for you.
