Classes outside of the context of your "local" package are never picked
up without an import statement.

This said, if I am a class in the cxtable package, I do need to import
cxtable.core_comm.* and cxtable.gui.* if I want to use classes in those
packages.

If I am a class in the package cxtable.gui, and I am used by a class in
cxtable.core_comm, I do not need to import cxtable.core_comm.  I would
only need to do that if I use a class from cxtable.core_comm.

So, to summarize, you need to import any class outside of your "local"
scope, and you never need to import a class that you don't use, even if
it uses you.

I hope that was clear :)
