We introduces the umodules, a generalisation of the notion of graph module. The theory we develop captures among others undirected graphs, tournaments, digraphs, and $2-$structures. We show that, under some axioms, a unique decomposition tree exists for umodules. Polynomial-time algorithms are provided for: non-trivial umodule test, maximal umodule computation, and decomposition tree computation when the tree exists. Our results unify many known decomposition like modular and bi-join decomposition of graphs, and a new decomposition of tournaments.
