IIRC, if you write the two files (lets say Hkl/Vector.vala and 
Hkl/Matrix.vala) without any "forward references"(not possible), then 
compile them in the same command

$ valac -c Vector.vala Matrix.vala

the compiler automatically finds cross references (like, it does the 
parsing of both files before the symbol analysis).
