Last one wins ;)

VB seems to use a global namespace for constants too - hence we see all 
constants with a special prefix "ado", "cdo", etc.

However, as the other poster pointed out, EnsureModule or 
GetModuleForProgID will give you access to each specific module's 
constants, so if there was a name collosion you would have to fall back 
to getting the constant directly from the module, rather than the global 
"constants" pool.
