This is one of the more annoying broken parts of modules2 once you place 
something in the root of a module nothing else goes in there.

Basically I've found (and many others) that modules2 almost works but is 
broken in so many subtle ways that it just isn't worth it.

Many times people have said wait for 2.? or EVS and it will be better 
but that's really not much help for most us now.
