The logic class doesn’t actually use the widget, I had included it in the imports since I thought that may avoid the error. I have since removed it. I’ve added the widget class back to the main module file and kept the logic class in its own file based on [this thread](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/python-scripted-module-development-reload-feature-for-multiple-files/6363/6) stating that the widget must be in the main module file, and this works fine. [Another thread](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/is-it-possible-to-split-a-python-extension-into-multiple-files/21713/5) says that the widget can be kept in its own file, but I am having issues recreating it the same way.

Is there a way to keep the widget separate from the main module class, and if so, how can I correctly point to the right locations so the module class is aware of the widget?
