You can't do this. It won't work in MIDL and it won't work in widl
when it is fixed to put the includes for imported files at the start
of the generated header file, rather than in between the statements
generated from neighbouring IDL statements.

You need to find another way of solving the issue you are facing.

I already thought that construction was a bit dodgy :-)
The problem is that importing wined3d_types.idl generates an include
for wined3d_types.h, which then can't be found be the code including
wined3d_interface.h because include/wine isn't in the default include
path. Trying to import "wine/wined3d_types.idl" instead doesn't help
much.
