Dear Juhana,
the result of a short Email discussion within the TTCN-3 maintenance
group is that we cannot remember why we didn't delete the sentence:
> "All definitions
> that are imported from one module shall be referenced in one import
> statement only."
However, we will write a CR, that proposes the deletion of this
sentence.
Best regards
Jens Grabowski
