# Error code E0577

Something other than a module was found in visibility scope.

Erroneous code example:

    pub struct Sea;

    pub (in crate::Sea) struct Shark; // error!

    fn main() {}

`Sea` is not a module, therefore it is invalid to use it in a visibility path. To fix this error we need to ensure `sea` is a module.

Please note that the visibility scope can only be applied on ancestors!

    pub mod sea {
        pub (in crate::sea) struct Shark; // ok!
    }

    fn main() {}
