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"...
