Angular.js namespacing modules controllers

Question

I have following structure in my application directory:

scripts/
   modules/
     module1/
       controllers/
          MainController.js
     module2/
       controllers/
          MainController.js
   main.js

What I want to achieve is to put controllers in each module to its own namespace, for example:

module1.MainController
module2.MainController

So when i use in html ng-controller="MainController" directive it knows from which module to serve it. Also it would be good that modules can communicate with each other.

Please explain to me how I can achieve this in the best way as possible, and if it's at all possible?

I've found something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/luisperezphd/j5jzsppv/ but I'm not sure if this is good solution. It uses angular.ng-modules.js.

EDIT: I'm trying to use Angular.js v.1.3.6. On version 1.2.x there is no problem with namespaces.

Inject one of the modules into the other using regular dependency injection:

var moduleTwo = angular.module('moduleTwo', ['otherModule']);

This allows moduleTwo to have awareness of otherModule. Then you can use a service to share state between controllers. Services are singletons (only one instance will exist), so if multiple controllers use the same service they will share that state.

Ok, I've done some research about sharing states and this is all about sharing data between controllers. What about namespaces? Still when I inject two modules which has controllers with same names, the result is taken only from the module which is injected at the end.
