Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. I thought you only wanted to use 
a single class without prefix, but reading again your first mail, it seems 
that you want everything under MyModule::HasSubmodile::AndAnotherOne to look 
like it was in the main object (or in the module you're working in). Is this 
correct? If so, you can try including the 
MyModule::HasSubmodile::AndAnotherOne module inside your own, or in the 
toplevel object, like this:

include MyModule::HasSubmodile::AndAnotherOne

This will give you access to constants and instance methods defined in 
AndAnotherOne (but not to its class methods or to constants defined in 
MyModule or HasSubmodule). I'm not completely sure this is exactly what you 
want, but it's the best thing I can think of (I don't know java, so I don't 
know what exactly you expect to be able to do with this).
