I'm trying to update our build procedures using some of the guidelines
in
http://www.1060.org/blogxter/resources/5/ant-1.7.pdf
=20
They claim that an imported file is added to the *end* of the importing
file. That would suggest to me that top-level tasks in the imported file
would get executed *after* the top-level tasks in the importing file.

For instance:

Importing.xml:
<project name=3D"importing" default=3D"noop">
  <import file=3D"imported.xml"/>
  <echo>Importing</echo>
  <target name=3D"noop" />
</project>

Imported.xml:
<project name=3D"imported" default=3D"noop2">
  <echo>Imported</echo>
  <target name=3D"noop2" />
</project>


I would *expect* (but not desire) the result to be:
Importing
Imported

In fact, the result is:
Imported
Importing

That's absolutely what I want, in fact - because the files I want to
import will be defining tasks, setting properties etc. However, I'd
really like to know that the behaviour is going to stay the same, *and*
in what way "imports are imported to the tail".

On a side-note - it's nice to be back on the list :)
