Hi Tal,

I had a space between the plugin and filename. The correct one would like this.

import
  - plugin:openstack-1.0

By this way it won't conflict with YAML convention. Do you still suggest to use 
the repository conventions ?

Regards,
DJ

I think the format you suggest is awkward in YAML. Because ":" is reserved, you 
would have to wrap the string in quotes:

imports:
 - this/is/a/string/import.yaml
 - this is also a string .yaml
 - "plugins: but here we have to add quotes because of the colon.yaml"

The TOSCA way to handle name ambiguity is to use a repository in the long-form 
of the import. What we can do is create a built-in repository called "plugins". 
So it would look like this:

imports:
 - mytypes.yaml
 - repository: plugins
   file: openstack.yaml
