The issue isn't with SML, but rather with how MLton compiles SML code. 
MLton processes all source files at once instead of doing any kind of 
incremental handling.  I don't know much about Eclipse, but I'm guessing 
from Matthew's comment that Eclipse might work best when you can handle 
different source units separately.
