I missed the beginning of this thread but just want to say that I personally think that import is the best feature in Ant today (apart from Ant's being in the first place, that is)!
I find it hard to work with in a big project.
problems
-risk of adding a new target in an imported build file conflicting with one in the importer (i.e. lack of private scope)
-when you override a target, you dont get access to its dependents. Workaround: many pseudo-targets that only model dependencies.
-once you have sub-projects importing ../../common.xml, they are no longer self contained, which makes it harder to work with outside the existing build tree.
I dont see any good solution for the latter. -steve
