How to access overall AutoFac container to register a dependency in Orchard?

Question

the question is pretty straightforward.i want to access overall AutoFac container so that i can register my dependency in it.

remark:

i am not OK with inheriting from IDependency cause in my project it results in a circular referencing (of two assemblies).what i wanna do is register a component with a Key and access it with same Key in other assembly. thanks in advance.

EDIT:

i have found a class called DefaultOrchardHostContainer in the core ,but it only exposes Resolve<> method but not Register() .

You can add an Autofac module directly to your Orchard module and Orchard will pick it up. ex...

public class MyModule : Module {
   protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder){
      builder.RegisterType<MyDependency>().As<IMyDependency>().InstancePerDependency();
   }
}
