This would be a powerful tool that allows sibling submodules to collaborate with each other. It is similar to allowing extensions of different types collaborate within a file, but at a larger level of granularity.
If I correctly understand what you seem to be suggesting, that would mean that access levels would be, ordered from narrowest access to widest, something like:
scoped
private
internal
scoped(SomeModule, OtherModule)
public
open
Having the same keyword appear in two very different places in that list seems...less than ideal.
