A structural module may have dependencies on one or more domain modules. But
those modules are not referenced from the structural module, but from any
shell that integrates the structural module.

Thus, there is an indirect dependency from the structural module to the
domain module, but not a direct dependency in the sense of an entity
reference from the structural module to the domain modules.

Thus "completely" is not accurate.
