I missed the beginning of this thread but just want to say that I personally
think that import is the best feature in Ant today (apart from Ant's being in
the first place, that is)!

You confused me with the "later." Even though this
could theoretically happen via 3rd-party API calls, we
wouldn't be able to detect it, would we? Our local
targets are known before we actually execute a
top-level (target "") import, right? So what I take
away from the above is that when there is only one
"foo", the real work lives in "foo" while "bar.foo"
depends on "foo" (my idea turned around). But say the
importER explicitly depends on bar.foo . Isn't this
still going to pollute the log in the opposite way my
implementation would? :) i.e.
[foo]:
[bar.foo]:
