I don't know anything about gtkd, but I think he means something 
like below.

.\gtkd\package.d
module gtkd;
public import gtk;
public import gdk;
...etc

.\gtkd\gtk\package.d
module gtk;
public import gtk.Window;
...etc

.\gtkd\gdk\package.d
module gdk;
public import gdk.Window;
...etc

So you should then be able to do something like
import gtkd : functionThatDoesntOverlap;
import gtk = gtkd.gtk : functionThatDoesOverlap;
import gdk = gtkd.gdk : functionThatDoesOverlap;

A longer-term solution is for something like
import gtkd;
to only pull in the functions/structs/classes/etc that are 
actually used.
