If you're using routes (high probability) and your config has a reference to a controller in a module that's not declared as dependency then initialisation might fail too.

E.g assuming you've configured ngRoute for your app, like

angular.module('yourModule',['ngRoute'])
.config(function($routeProvider, $httpProvider) { ... });

Be careful in the block that declares the routes,

.when('/resourcePath', { 
templateUrl: 'resource.html',
controller: 'secondModuleController' //lives in secondModule
});

Declare secondModule as a dependency after 'ngRoute' should resolve the issue. I know I had this problem.
