Wise Monks, I find I have written code that works fine, at least it seems. But I cannot understand _why_ it works. It seems like it should not, there for I'm seeking understanding

I am generating a report, using PDF::API2. I've created myself a little helper object:

package AReport;
use common::sense;
use PDF::API2;
use Exporter qw( import );
use constant mm => 25.4 / 72;
use constant in => 1 / 72;
use constant pt => 1;
our @EXPORT = qw(mm in pt);

use Class::Tiny qw(api x y pageW pageH bodyW bodyH);
<etc...>

[download]
In my main file, I can use the constants, as well the AReport object: 
use AReport;

my $pdf = AReport->new( file => 'junk.pdf', pageW => 8.5/in );

[download]

It all seems to work, but there should be two import() procedures, one for Class:Tiny and one for Exporter. Only one should get called, but seems as both do? How?

Thank you for your time,

-Andy
