Empty list |
List of zero, one, or more valid and compatible filepaths to additional CopyTarget manifest files. Filepaths can be absolute or relative to the current manifest file; and this relativity is applied recursively for each nested manifest file. Imported manifest files are processed first before continued processing of the current manifest; however, exports from the current manifest are processed and forwarded to nested manifests. Defining an export in the current manifest is made visible to the child and grandchild manifests. |
