Item 2 is:

 >> 2 - not transitive (i.e. it allows for encapsulation)

What I mean by that is that if A imports B and B imports C,
then A does not import C, i.e. if you need to use components
from C in A, you  have to import C explicitely there.

As Gudge pointed out, this is encapsulation: the dependency on C
that B has is hidden from its clients (in this case, A).
