that can't be done easily with use. it only calls the import method on
the class it is given. it also loads the file which matches the class
name (with :: converted to /, etc.). why do you have multiple packages
in one file? you could break them up and have a wrapper file use them
with importing the constants and then exporting all of them to the
user. you could have the primary class (same name as the file) import
the constants from the other classes and export them. or even with some
more powerful modules, you could export the constants directly from
their classes.

i just smell a design flaw here rather than a problem that needs to be
solved in this way. you seem to have painted yourself into a corner with
this design.
