I have the same issue with variable which is defined in a separated file, and is included indirectly with the file being compiled.

I have a similar problem. In my main.less I import e.g. variables.less, mixins.less and then the rest of the less files. Now I have to include my variables / mixins.less in every separate less file, wich will bloat my css file. I have around 30 less files to import!
