Explain to me how making it a property of the canvas would fix anything at all.
It would ensure that it gets read first from the file.
automatic resolving of namespaces (like import does) is only useful if it is done in a limited scope, like per patch.
The problem with the "using" or "import" external furthermore is that it pulls in a namespace at arbitrary time when loading the patch, this is not very predictable, and setting the path from the beginning would be a better solution in this case.
I have the feeling that implementing "import" correctly is not trivial.
