Just to add on my comment and your edit. Here is what the code would look like if you wanted to be able to re-use your user service and insert it into other apps.

angular.module('user', []).service('userService', [function(){

}]) 

angular.module('myApp', ['user'])
.controller('myCtrl', ['userService', '$scope', function(userService, scope){
    // you can access userService from here
}])

Not sure if that's what you wanted but likewise you could have your "user" module have a dependency to another "parent" module and access that module's data the same way.
