You seem pretty confused. What you've attached are view files for your modules, for instance one of them is the form view for object named hr.job. This is not as you call it "module files".

What you need to do is create a many2one (or many2many) field from the referenced object you want to the target object you need, meaning adding a field to whatever class's columns you need in the corresponding py file and not view. A very simple example for a class named opportunity_opportunity: 

class opportunity_opportunity (osv.osv):  
        _name = "opportunity.opportunity"  
        _columns = {  
                'name' : fields.char('Name', size=64),  
                'employee_id': fields.many2one('job.position','name')  
                 }  
opportunity_opportunity()

you can later add it in the opportunity_view.xml file as any other field:

<field name="employee_id" string="Employee"/>

More importantly, I think you need to seriously first read and understand the developer book: OpenERP 6.1 Developer Book

EDIT: I just noticed you had already posted the same question yesterday here link, this is very frowned upon in stackoverflow. Please take your time to read the openerp documentation before posting questions.
