Is it possible to access * loaded * children of a nodejs module?

Let's say I have 3 modules with dependencies like this:

A.js

var b = require('./B');
var c = require('./C');

console.log(module.children.length); // 2

      

        
        
        
      

    

B.js

var z = require('Z');

console.log(module.children.length); // 1

      

        
        
        
      

    

C.js

var z = require('Z');

console.log(module.children.length); // 0 ?!?!

      

        
        
        
      

    

Z

does not appear in the module.children

inside C

because it was already loaded B

before execution C

.

I can figure out module.parent

of Z

how B

because the first place was loaded, but Z

can certainly be a child of B

and C

?

Anyway, my question is, is it possible to see all the children of a module, regardless of whether they have been loaded or not?
