While I do understand what you mean (and AFAIR I simply dropped out of any import discussion when it was added, so I don't remember whether I understood your point then), but as you note yourself, this probably is incompatible with the way <import> works today. If we wanted to add it, we'd need a more complex change and an attribute to explicitly enable that behavior. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done, it's just more work. Right now I'm pretty close to simply add an "as" attribute to import, add "include" as an alias name for import and make the task behave differently when it is called as include. This should address all EasyAnt uses (except for the names) and we may be able to further evolve from there.
