It seems a good idea to consult the Ada specifications for the
definition of these new features which don't exist in ISO Pascal
specification than to consult the existent Modula-2 compilers.

For example, When a module is imported the runtime semantics "require"
its initialization part be completed before we can proceed further.
That automatically precludes the loops in the import-export
relation graph. My VAX-VMS Modula-2 compiler from Hamburger
doesn't check this kind of error. I cannot find clear definition
in the Modula-2 manual neither.

While I was going to grad school, I worked at the Idaho National Engineering
Laboratory where, buried under a pile of papers and listings, was a Modula-2
compiler written in Pascal for a Cyber-like machine.  The person who had the
compiler is gone, but I recall it came from ETH.

At Technical University Berlin we have a 
Modula2 compiler/interpreter for VM/SP-CMS.

It is written in Pascal/VS. 
It is derived from the original PDP11 frontend.

The machine code generator is under developement.
