Hello Rasmus,

The top-level code in a Swift source file consists of zero or more statements, declarations, and expressions. By default, variables, constants, and other named declarations that are declared at the top-level of a source file are accessible to code in every source file that is part of the same module. You can override this default behavior by marking the declaration with an access level modifier, as described in Access Control Levels.

I'll search around for a better answer but this should get you started.
