This plugin changes the behavior of Sass's @import directive so that if the same sass file is imported more than once, the second import will be a no-op. This allows dependencies to behave how most people expect them to behave and provides a considerable performance improvement for some sass projects. Note: Although this plugin is maintained by compass, it can be used without compass in any Sass-based project. WWW: https://github.com/Compass/compass/tree/master/import-once
