Topic: Composition of Module Functors

Hello, how can I compose two module functors, as in the following example? Thanks

Module Type A.
End A.

Module Type B.
End B.

Module Type C (Y: B).
End C.

Module MakeB (X: A) : B.
End MakeB.

Module MakeC (Y: B) : C(Y).
End MakeC.

(*Doesn't work*)
Module MakeBC (X: A) := MakeC (MakeB X).

The problem with such constructions would be that the intermediate modules would not have a name. For this reason one has to explicitly name the modules and then include them as in:

Module MakeBC (X: A).
Module MyB := MakeB X.
Module MyC := MakeC MyB.
Include MyC.
End MakeBC.

The ref man says that an inline instantiation is just syntactic sugar for an include.

Thank you!
