thank you for the clarification - and thanks to kooda - if my
understanding of the differences between "import" in chicken-4 and
chicken-5 had been better your answer had helped as well.

Indeed - if I change the code of mod-b (chicken-5) to 

  (module mod-b ()
    (import scheme chicken.base chicken.module mod-a)
    (reexport (only mod-a test-a)))

(mod-a is now in the import- and the reexport-form) - then "test-a" is
callable in mod-c (mod-c only imports mod-b).

I don't think that's neccessary (I have an account) - import + reexport
works in chicken-5 - furthermore I am just working on a pet project
while learning (chicken) scheme (although the pet has grown quite a
bit). I am using chicken-4 (for the pet) and test with chicken-5 before
posting to avoid unnecessary noise (sorry for the fail this time
around).

Thanks again,
Martin
