You need

- either to export to_list in signature of XMap above as

	val to_list : 'a t -> (X.t * 'a) list

  and then you'll be able to write StringCounters.XMap.to_list in your
 example

- or to re-export it in module Counters, as

	let to_list = XMap.to_list

  and to declare it in signature of module Counters, as

	val to_list : t -> (X.t * int) list

  and then to use it as StringCounters.to_list in your example.

Hope this helps,
