It's supported but need to be explicit. Instead of:

import "a.proto";

do:

import public "a.proto";

This is recommended only when refactoring proto files. In general you
should use the regular import statement and stick with the IWYU
 practice.

[protobuf] file import via another import

[Arpit Baldeva]

Hi,

It seems like the import directive in a proto file does not import the 
import dependencies of the file being imported. Easier to explain by 
example here.

Say you have 3 files - a.proto, b.proto, c.proto

If b.proto imports a.proto and c.proto imports b.proto, c.proto does not 
automatically import a.proto. Importing a.proto needs to be explicit. 

Is there a reason for not supporting automatic import?

Thanks.
