In the future, I would like to have a main realm, e.g. a Pathfinder Adventure Path that uses Golarion as a base and then add a single module to this realm.
If the module is a separate realm is this at all possible? |

Not until they get the marketplace up and running.
There's no ETA on that, but it won't be soon. |

That's clear, I just wanted to know if you can import 1 realm into another.
(Also pushing the boundaries of asking a stupid question. ) |

No. The mechanism for transferring data between realms is fundamental to the marketplace. They aren't tied together because of business plans, but technical requirements.

In the future, you should be able to create a base realm and then import (via the Marketplace) additional content. So if you create/buy/download an adventure path/module, you should be able to import that material into an existing realm.
What we don't know is: 1) How we will need package material for exporting to Marketplace and then importing into our realms. 2) How seamless integration of new imported material will be when added. 3) When Marketplace will be available. 4) Whether the GM export/import functionality will be part of the initial Marketplace offering. |

...5) Wether the GM can export/import "offline"

@Acenoid: VERY good addition. I have cloud so it's not a concern to me. But if cloud access is required for any data transfers between realms that is a very big question for many.

This is similar to the topic I posted here.
I've been trying to add content whenever I have a spare moment. Unfortunately, that means sometimes I don't have an internet connection. Maybe I've got purchased content in one realm that I want to add to another and I happen to be offline. We should be able to transfer content from one realm to another and then sync later on. Same applies for user-created content. Maybe the dialog that would allow this would be an import window which allows you to click a checkbox for items you want to import. The linking obviously would occur once the import was completed and only for items which actually existed in the second realm. Just a few thoughts... G |

There are many times in traveling I do not have access to wifi and have worked on my realm offline (updating later to insure sync of info). Without being able to move stuff from one of my realms to another of MY realms, this would be a near dealbreaker... |

Just to make things clear...
Each setting or module will be managed as a separate realm. You WILL be able to import multiple settings/modules/whatever into another realm. By extension, this means you should be able to do the same with your own content, merging one realm in with another. So you can essentially share content with yourself. |
