Hmm, that depends on the order in which you keep the list. If you add
a hook to the import mechanism, and in that hook add a module to your
administration _when the import finishes_ then reloading everything
for which the import finished after the module that was changed should 
do the trick, no? A module whose import was over and done before the
changed module was imported can't be affected by it, after all...
