Thank you to everybody who has taken the time to reply (both privately and
on this mailing list). I have since found an answer to this first question
in Wirth and Reiser's book "Programming in Oberon, Steps Beyond Pascal and
Modula". If you do not have a copy you can download it from:

http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/bibliography/publications

In Section 8.3.1 it states: "Note that when fields in a record r are
exported, r should be exported too".

Regards,
Chris
