public class ImportTask extends Task
It must be 'top level'. On execution it will read another Ant file into the same Project.
Important: Trying to understand how relative file references resolved in deep/complex build hierarchies - such as what happens when an imported file imports another file can be difficult. Use absolute references for enhanced build file stability, especially in the imported files.
Examples:
<import file="../common-targets.xml"/>
Import targets from a file in a parent directory.
<import file="${deploy-platform}.xml"/>
Import the project defined by the property deploy-platform
.

protected final boolean isInIncludeMode()
In include mode included targets are only known by their prefixed names and their depends lists get rewritten so that all dependencies get the prefix as well.
In import mode imported targets are known by an adorned as well as a prefixed name and the unadorned target may be overwritten in the importing build file. The depends list of the imported targets is not modified at all.
