In a package, relating the modules in the package

I need to form some relationships, in this case we have a module for our territory.
We need to relate our territories to territories of other business entities.
It’s a one-to-many, one of ours to any number of theirs.

When I create the module, and use the ‘relate’ field type, it only sees what is published and does not see a module in the package I have yet to deploy.

Do I have to first deploy all my modules that other modules rely on ?

Just did the relationships outside of the module development and it worked. Pretty much leaving module development to naming a table and the fields and not anything more.
