Allowing auto-output to propagate up even though it's used internally

I've searched and not found the answer to this. I have signals which are passed between blocks but also need to go out as outputs to higher levels. I rely heavily on verilog-auto to get things right. My current workaround is to define a new module, which takes the input and generates two outputs, one for the internal use and one for the export. But that isn't by any standard an elegant solution, I end up defining "misc" modules at each level of the hierarchy.

I am hoping that there is a switch that you can pass to AUTO_TEMPLATE to force some signals to propagate into the AUTO_TEMPLATE even if they are used as inputs in other AUTOINST'ed blocks.

Thanks

Sorry, but there isn't a way to do this now. The intent is that if you have a signal like that, then you should simply plop down the "output" for those signals yourself.
