Why should the Java compiler not support inheritance of imports?

Is it possible for me to do the following:
Say I have a class A which extends class B. B has imported class C which has it’s own methods that B uses. Can A use those same methods from C without importing C directly, since A extends B?

Answer 1

No.

But if you had said:

Say I have a class A which extends class B. B has imported extended class C which has it’s own methods that B uses. Can A use those same methods from C without importing C directly, since A extends B.

Then A could use C’s protected and public methods (and friendly methods if its in the same package) without importing C.
