No it's not, importing whole modules or packages into the scope 
of a user of your template is fairly problematic, b/c from there 
on any change in the imported modules will affect all users.
Use selective imports instead to introduce just the necessary 
steps.
In rare cases where the whole module is needed, you can use 
string mixins.
For converting existing code you can use -transition import 
and/or checkimports.
