Let M be an essentially finitely generated injective (or, more generally, quasi-continuous) module. It is shown that if M satisfies a mild uniqueness condition on essential closures of certain submodules, then the existence of an infinite independent set of submodules of M implies the existence of a larger independent set on some quotient of M modulo a directed union of direct summands. This provides new characterisations of injective (or quasi-continuous) modules of finite Goldie dimension. These results are then applied to the study of indecomposable decompositions of quasi-continuous modules and nonsingular CS modules.
