Do you really mean you don't import the module you are inside currently?

When you %run something, the modules it imports are not reloaded, but
the already loaded version is used. Try reload():ing the modules the
%run-ed file imports (and you have modified). %run doesn't do this
automatically.

Does this help, or am I misunderstanding something?
