It’s very unusual and wrong for a bundle to both import a package with 
Import-Package AND require the exporting bundle with Require-Bundle. Both of 
these requirements will be wired up independently, and will result in a highly 
inconsistent class space that is the reason for your LinkageErrors etc.
