Yes.

For example, render.xml does an <import>xproto</import> so that it can
use RECTANGLE, VISUALID and etc types (which are defined in xproto.xml).

The most complex example is in glx.xml. There exists a PIXMAP type in
both xproto.xml (imported) and in glx.xml. It uses the fully qualified
types "glx:PIXMAP" and "xproto:PIXMAP" to disambiguate. Most uses of
import don't have any name collisions, though.
