That's an odd comment to make. D's import is very similar to Java's import and 
is far more like Java's import than C/C++'s #include. D is probably pickier 
about possible name conflicts, but in general, importing in D and Java and 
pretty much the same. You're specifically importing _modules_ in D, and D 
doesn't enforce 1 public class per file, so the syntax is a bit different when 
importing specific classes rather than a whole module, and you do have to deal 
with the possibility of conflicting free functions whereas they aren't even 
legal in Java, but overall importing in Java and D and pretty similar. I don't 
know why you'd be comparing D's import to C/C++'s #include rather than Java's 
import.
