Expand the error message 'loading object <object ID>, previous object <object ID2> not descended from sibling <object ID3>.' with 'environment / context/scope' information, so that users / admins can easier determine where the issue has occurred.

Users operate in several modules operations / DXL concurrently, which may throw 'loading object / previous object not descended from sibling' errors. The errors are displayed in a messagebox with no further reference to the underlying module. This is only useful when working sequentially on one module, but becomes a problem, when multiple message boxes from different modules are thrown on the screen at the same time. It is then difficult or impossible to track down the offending module / project / folder / path. Expanding the error message like so: 'Error in Module data: <PATH/Module Name> loading object ...' will ensure this issue can be tracked down even in complex situations.
