RE: [PHP-DEV] a way to fix the import issue

In your example : <?php namespace Foo; import Blah::Exception; $a = new Exception; ?> "new Exception" refer to "Blah::Exception" and will fail if such class doesn't exists. "import Blah::Exception" creates an alias with short name "Exception" only for current file (it doesn't creates "Foo::Exception") May be I didn't understood the question. :) Thanks.
