Import checks if the file has already been
imported:
So importing the current build file would import it
once.

The following import.xml:

<project>
  <echo>Hello World</echo>
  <import file="import.xml"/>
</project>

Using ant -f import.xml prints out "Hello World" twice.

Note that one can still cause infinite loops with
antcall:

<project default="x">
  <target name="x">
    <antcall target="y"/>
  </target>

  <target name="y">
    <antcall target="x"/>
  </target>
</project>
