Yes, absolutely. You should always import a general-purpose module from a
special-purpose module, never the other way around.

This is in relation to including the same module more than once.

I think the "may" is correct: There are cases where this won't throw an
error, for example, if the modules are empty, or if they contain template
rules (match templates) that are never matched. But I wouldn't defend the
"almost".
