Yes, I tried this and it's work, but if I want to use project
"imported-test" as standalone project it say
"Target `imported-test.test' does not exist in this project. It is
used from target `imported'." I think it's not good and maybe a bug.

And i dont want switch off target overriding, but I think if some
project has target depends on another target it must be from the same
project.

I have N small build files(projects) and one common. In common project
I call <ant buildfile="xxx" target="all">

in small projects i have target
 <target name="all" depends="target1,target2,target2"/>

and in describing by you behaviour of ANT I need look thru all
importing projects to find if they have some target with the same name,
and I think this is not logically. (In c++ or java I have keywords as
"virtual" or "protect" or "abstract" ) to avoid those
misunderstandings in _runtime_. So I dont agree with you that
importing look like extends in java, It more look like include in @[EMAIL
