That could be dangerous if the files defined more 
than the functions you want to use - name collisions etc.

Also if there is any code in there that does more than 
define classes/functions it would get executed with 
unpredictable results.

If the problem is really bad I'd look at using OS facilities 
to create links to the needed libraries from a single folder 
and then import from there.

But I suspect the real issue is why you have so many 
different locations? Is it possible to rationalize the 
storage of the libraries? Even if multiple projects and 
programmers are involved a shared repository is 
probably "a good thing"...
