So I understand that both statements:
\loadmarkfile{m-graph}
\usemodule[graph]
are actually the same thing!
Both work but they are not the same thing. \loadmarkfile loads only the given file with the extension “mkii” MkII and “mkiv” for MkIV and only used in modules. \usemodule does a lot more than this, the first is that it checks for the given module with different prefixes (the graph module has a “m-” prefix which means it’s a core module) and it also looks for file with different extension, this means it doesn’t matter if the module is called m-graph.tex, m-graph.mkiv or even t-graph.mkiv, \usemodule will always load the module while \loadmarkfile will only load m-graph.mkiv When you load a file with \loadmarkfile and the file is not present you will get a message on the terminal to give a different file name which aborts the tex run while \usemodule will only give a message on the terminal but the processing isn’t stopped, as a last thing \usemodule loads a module only once while \loadmarkfile will always read the file.
