Rythm can't @import a template if invoked by a parent template

I have a set 4 template files, all with the .rythm extension, and all living in the same directory. Let's call them "Main.rythm", "Child1.rythm", "Child2.rythm", and "Helper.rythm". Additionally, I also set the home.template.dir to this directory before rendering Main.

In the Helper template, I just have a bunch of @defs that do some basic common formatting so that I don't have to call back to a my java class or clutter up the actual template with logic that doesn't need to be there.

Main looks something like this:

@args {
    String aString,
    MyClass bunchOfData,
    String anotherString
    @//...
}
@import("Helper")
There's some formatting here, using @aString
There's some formatting using an @def in Helper, like @foo(anotherString)

@Child1(bunchOfData)

@Child2(bunchOfData)

And Child1 and Child2 are similar to each other and look something like this:

@args MyClass bunchOfData
@import("Helper")
@{
    //Some preformatting stuff here
}
Make a lot of method calls on @bunchOfData, some of which will also use an @def or two in Helper

My problem is that I'm getting an error in Child1 on the @import("Helper") line:

Exception in thread "main" org.rythmengine.exception.CompileException: Syntax error on token "import", delete this token

Template: /path/to/templates/Child1.rythm

I've tried commenting out the @import, but then I can't really call those @defs, and get errors from Rythm that "Helper cannot be resolved" when I use @Helper.foo(bunchOfData.getSomething()).

What is it that I need to do in order to get access to these @defs in Helper from Child1 and Child2?

You shouldn't be using @import, you should be using @include instead. @import is just like the import directive in java, adding a package for this template to refer to. @include is for adding additional templates that you can refer to throughout this template.
