import and recipes order

[stessaris]

The interaction between the import statement and the overriding of recipes doesn't seems intuitive to me, because imported recipes take the precedence over the ones in the importing file. I'd expect the other way around, in order to be able to override "defaults".

The following example shows the problem. With the two files:

# justfile

set allow-duplicate-recipes

import 'lib.just'

_default: hello

# lib.just

_default:
    @just --list

hello:
    echo "hello world"

I get the following:

$ just --version
just 1.19.0
$ just
error: Justfile contains no default recipe.
$ just _default
Available recipes:
    hello

While I'd expect that the default recipe exists, and should be the _default defined in ./justfile. If I move set allow-duplicate-recipes in ./lib.just, or move the _default definition before the import, I get the same results.

Nice catch! I agree, recipes in parent modules should override recipes in imports. Fixed in #1790.
