In my rms package I use the packagename:::functionname construct in a number of places. If I instead use the importFrom declaration in the NAMESPACE file would that require the package to be available, and does it load the package when my package loads? If so I would keep using packagename::: to avoid up-front loading of other packages that are not always used.
