Do your modules start with `module Foo where'?  If not, they'll all default
to Main, and Hugs doesn't let you load two modules with the same name.

But even then it may not be what you want (all names from all the modules
in scope).  Hugs only has one current module at a time, whose contents
are in scope; if you load several modules, this will be the last one.  
You'll probably need to use Haskell imports and exports to get what
you want.
