I like using a different term with just that explanation (ie, "a facet
is a particular kind of a submodule").

But I still don't like `facet' -- not only because of my non-native
point, but also because it sounds to me like facets are distinct.  (So
it's weird that one facet can require another.)

How about just `slice'?  It sounds good on two levels: you split a
module into several slices, and also you split each of this by small
slices of code.  You'd read code as

  (slice #|of|# main
    ...)
