OK, lets get on the nitty gritty of the matter. :-) What do you mean by unrelated imports? If they are unrelated why do you need to import them toghether? Why don't you use <ant/> to call between the unrelated targets? In other words, the now famous example of "bad" crosstalk, I could argue is due to bad usage of the <import/> feature. The build should not have imported files A and B, but just <ant/> them. You whould have gotten the desired effect. On the other hand, if you have to import them, then it is because they have to share something or one defines some target for the other, or something. If that is the case, then you are crosstalking. And then the whole argument changes. You would have to add something to the language to be able to say: for this target I want crosstalk, but for that other I do not. I think this will lead to spagguetti incomprenhensible buildfiles when things go on large scale.
