# Error code E0255

You can't import a value whose name is the same as another value defined in the module.

Erroneous code example:

    use bar::foo; // error: an item named `foo` is already in scope

    fn foo() {}

    mod bar {
         pub fn foo() {}
    }

    fn main() {}

You can use aliases in order to fix this error. Example:

    use bar::foo as bar_foo; // ok!

    fn foo() {}

    mod bar {
         pub fn foo() {}
    }

    fn main() {}

Or you can reference the item with its parent:

    fn foo() {}

    mod bar {
         pub fn foo() {}
    }

    fn main() {
        bar::foo(); // we get the item by referring to its parent
    }
