includes that include other files.  Something like

a.xml
<project name="a">
  <include file="c.xml" as="from-a"/>
  <include file="b.xml"/>
</project>

b.xml
<project name="b">
  <include file="c.xml"/>
  <target name="y" depends="c.x"/>
</project>

c.xml
<project name="c">
  <target name="x"/>
</target>

a.xml will see targets from-a.x and b.c.x but more importantly b.xml
will see its c.x target as well.  When using the <import> logic c.xml
would have been imported in a.xml and there wouldn't be a target c.x in
b.xml at all.
