Just change my_code.ml
--- my_code.ml ---

open My_tools.My_tools
let a_string = "a string" ;;
print_a_string a_string ;;
---------------------

compile as follows

ocamlc my_tools.ml my_code.ml

Basically the file a.ml is interpreted by the compiler
as

module A = struct
  contents of a.ml
end

There is a more complete description in the manual
<http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual004.html>
(At the end)

Hope it helps,
