Derived type in abstract interface imported by USE reported as missing

[Sam_Harrison]

I have a module that includes some abstract interfaces. These interfaces use derived types from different modules, and I import these in the abstract interface by an "import" statement of the derived type in question, with the module the derived type is contained in being "use"d in the module itself. This compiles fine on gfortran, but with Intel Fortran 18, I get a "This derived type name has not been declared" error, and I can't figure out why. The module in question is below, and the derived type that throws the error is the "Result" derived type from the "ResultModule" module:

module spcEstuaryReach
    use ResultModule
    implicit none

    type, public, abstract :: EstuaryReach
    
      contains
        procedure(createEstuaryReach), deferred :: create
        procedure(updateEstuaryReach), deferred :: update
    end type
    
    abstract interface
        function createEstuaryReach(me) result(r)
            import EstuaryReach, Result
            class(EstuaryReach) :: me
            type(Result) :: r
        end function
        
        function updateEstuaryReach(me, t) result(r)
            import EstuaryReach, Result
            class(EstuaryReach) :: me
            integer :: t
            type(Result) :: r
        end function
        
    end interface
    
    
end module

@Sam Harrison,

Providing a couple of details will greatly increase the likelihood of useful responses: 1) Intel Fortran compiler version and 2) a complete reproducer.

You can try something like this:

module a
! file a.f90

   type :: x
   end type

end module

module b
! file b.f90

   use a, only : x

   type, abstract :: y
   contains
      procedure(Ifun), pass(this), deferred :: fun
   end type

   abstract interface
      function Ifun( this ) result(r)
         import :: x, y
         implicit none
         class(y), intent(in) :: this
         type(x) :: r
      end function
   end interface

end module

Note this particular example works with Intel Fortran compiler 17.0 update 5 as well as 18.0 update 1, so you will need to cross-check the code and with your compiler version.
