The api.export method is only supported for top-level variables right now. It doesn't work for nested variables, because "it turned out that using deep exports was very confusing", and what would you expect MyApp.myMethod to appear as in the global namespace if you also exported MyApp.myOtherMethod?

You should just export MyPackage, and then call MyPackage.myMethod(). A common approach is to do something like

MyPackage = { 
    myMethod: someSecretMethodName,
    myOtherMethod: otherMethodName
}

And then call api.export("MyPackage"). This means that the exported names of variables don't necessarily have to be what you called them. This is used a lot in the core meteor packages; you can also see an example at for MongoInternals in mongo_driver.js.
