This is a Python issue and has to do with variable scopes and bytecode compiling -- see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3571514/python-why-should-from-module-import-be-prohibited. Note, it's only a warning in this case, not an exception (though there are cases where it would raise an exception).
It should only generate the warning within a function, not at the top level in a controller (but outside a function) -- are you observing the latter?
