The package main is supposed to be used only to implement the binary/command specific code. It usually imports code from other packages to glue everything together. If you need to import something from the package main, that code is probably not specific to that command, so it should belong to another package. After you refactor the code, you can import it from the package main and from your other package which also requires it.
