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

`----

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"/>
