Thanks for your response.
Yes, these are not the real names.
My situation is (using real names, but using only relevant files):
/bots/
        engine.py
        transform.py
        botslib.py
        __init__.py
        /usersys/
             __init__.py
              /mappings/
                    __init__.py
                    02ordersedi2aperak.py
so:
engine.py is the start point.
engine.py imports botslib.py (initialises global), imports 
transform.py and starts function  from  transform.py
transform imports botslib.py, imports usersys.mappings.02ordersedi2aperak.py
usersys.mappings.02ordersedi2aperak.py  imports botslib.py->in this 
import it is initialised again.
Ah, then your code has a bug.  It should be importing bots.botslib, 
instead (e.g. "from bots import botslib" instead of "import botslib").

It appears that you also either have the bots/ directory somehow 
appearing on sys.path (where it *should not be*!) OR you have another 
copy of botslib.py on sys.path.
