I am working with angular, typescript and gulp, my module system is common js and i try to import a module to my main.ts file and its throw the error:

Cannot find external module 'modules.ts'.

main.ts:

/// <reference path="../../typings/tsd.d.ts" />

import modules from 'modules.ts';

const app = angular.module('myApp', []);

modules.ts:

module test {
    export class a {

    }
}

Your problem seems to be that modules.ts does not export anything, and therefore will not compile to a valid commonjs module.

Try this: 

// modules.ts
export module test {

    export class a {

    }
}

Then in some other file:

import {test} from 'modules';

var foo = new test.a();

This should work, read more about the ES6 Modules to learn the ins and outs of the new import/export syntax.
