Import local package in sub folder workspace

Hello! I'm trying to understand how the workspace/local imports work. I've managed to follow along with the simple add/substract example from the docs. But I have another folder structure than this in my project. Imagine something as follows:

root
|- add
    |- deno.json // @scope/add
    |- index.ts
|- substract
    |- deno.json // @scope/substract
    |- index.ts
|- maths
    |- geometry
        |- deno.json
        |- index.ts // doesn't find @scope/add or @scope/substract
    |- deno.json // workspace: ["./geometry"]
|- deno.js // workspace: ["./add", "./substract", "./maths"]

root
|- add
    |- deno.json // @scope/add
    |- index.ts
|- substract
    |- deno.json // @scope/substract
    |- index.ts
|- maths
    |- geometry
        |- deno.json
        |- index.ts // doesn't find @scope/add or @scope/substract
    |- deno.json // workspace: ["./geometry"]
|- deno.js // workspace: ["./add", "./substract", "./maths"]

Now if I wanna import add or substract inside my geometry module, it doesn't find it. But if I move everything one workspace up (move geometry directly in the root workspace) then it works. I just have might the whole workspace/module thing wrong, so I would like to know how it works and what's the best way to fix this. Thanks!

Okay I've managed to fix my issue (that was quick lol). Writing it actually helped me understand that maybe the @scope thing is named scope, because it represents the workspace scope (I'm dumb 😅 ). So the idea is simply to declare the submodule in the root workspace:

root
|- add
    |- deno.json // @scope/add
    |- index.ts
|- substract
    |- deno.json // @scope/substract
    |- index.ts
|- maths
    |- geometry
        |- deno.json
        |- index.ts // finds @scope/add or @scope/substract
|- deno.json // workspace: ["./add", "./substract", "./maths/geometry"]

root
|- add
    |- deno.json // @scope/add
    |- index.ts
|- substract
    |- deno.json // @scope/substract
    |- index.ts
|- maths
    |- geometry
        |- deno.json
        |- index.ts // finds @scope/add or @scope/substract
|- deno.json // workspace: ["./add", "./substract", "./maths/geometry"]
