global namespace of an imported function (2 Qs)

[Skaperen]

The namespace is created when it is imported, and I believe only when it is first imported. Any top-level code in the module is executed at that time, and can access anything defined above it in that namespace.

and what all does that include?

i would like to set a variable of a specific name followed by importing a module. i want have that module access that variable (it would know the name) and use that value to do different things like defining different functions.
