This was changed (I think) in 1.6.1 or 1.6.2, so that the import behaved
as if it was inline. I have just checked the manual for the
<import> task and can see no reference to imported files
being added to the end of the file. Can you point out where
you have seen this reference so that it can be modified.
Thanks,

Yeah, I'm sure I read it on the FAQ - but it was a while ago, and I
should really have noticed this...

to reference them <em>relative to its position.</em>"

Having said that...
1."Import files are effectively appended to the tail of the build file
(it’s a depth-first import, BTW)"
From Steve Loughran's slides :)
OK. they were tail first, and I have stated that fact both in the draft
and in the big projects chapter of the second edition of Java
development with Ant. Which means that I have bit of editing to do on
the CVS-managed copies of that chapter. I've been trying to finish that
chapter since august, and was just getting to the end of the maven2
libraries bit, and now I have to go back to and review it. sigh.
