Why the file attribute of the import task is not considering files

This is because you may use <import> in a file that itself gets <import>ed and then basedir would be that of the outer-most project and not the one of the file you are looking at.
See this note from the manual

This should read something like:
"the file is relative to the importing file and not to the value of the basedir
property".

which is no longer completely true since we are bound by backwards compatibility after we've released 1.6.
use <import file="${ant.file.pepe}/../include.xml"/>
instead of
<project name="pepe" basedir="..">
<import file="include.xml"/>
