Looks like spaguetti buildfiles to me.
No ofence, but if the build have this kinds of fragile dependencies, will anyone else understan what is going on 6 month from now? That is what is wrong with spaguetti code.
All this restriction in OO inheritance are there to limit developers capability of writing spaguetti. We still do, but...
Import overriding is not about OO inheritance, it's about target dependency injection, which is not quite the same thing.
Look, if you import in Java packages that have the same class and then want to use a specific one, you must use fully qualified names. Why can't I in Ant? What does this have to do with inheritance?
Ant import is *different* from other mechanisms, so analogies can help but are not the same thing.
