Need to place a pin on the symbol for an internal VerilogA signal

boast

I have an internal signal in my VerilogA code that is passed to another module, and it is not on this module's port list. But when netlisting, it complains that it wants a pin on the symbol for that signal. 

 So my temporary solution is just to place it on the symbol and then as a no-connect on a schematic. But is it normal for internal signals to have pins on the symbol only because it will be passed to another module internally?

 

Thanks.

    So how are you expecting to connect to this internal node? Normally connections would only be through the external connections of a module.

    It's not obvious to me what you mean - maybe you can illustrate it with an example?

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
