Templates: importing

[ChrisSD]

I was wondering if there was any major penalty in using many imports in a template? Presumably templates are "compiled" and cached only once (or once in a while) so it wont make much difference?

if by import you mean within html template files then no as they are rendered on the server side. If importing you mean in css then yes as those are rendered on the client side and each import is a unique request
