Make AAA do the call to BBB:

def AAA(*args, **kwargs):
    param = BBB(*args, **kwargs)
    # more code

from mymodule import AAA

AAA(1,2,3) # list of parameters you would have used with BBB.

Saying that, is there any strong reason (meaning design issue) why you don't want to import explicitly BBB ?
Because if the reason is 'It takes too much time', then it's a bad reason.
