I am a bit confused by the question, so I hope this clears it up anyway:
A pair of single quotes around attribute values is the same as a pair of double quotes, although doubles are much more common, but you must not mix the two for the same attribute value. So:
import="java.util.Date"
import='java.util.Date'
are valid, but:
import="java.util.Date'
import='java.util.Date"
are invalid, resulting in a translation error. It is legal to declare as few or as many import attributes on page directives anywhere in any
JSP page.
You have to be more careful with other attributes; for example, contentType (when it doesn't declare a page encoding) can be declared anywhere you like provided that each occurrence has the same value - if not, a translation error occurs. This applies to the same "translation unit", so applies also to all pages included using the import directive. This is logical as, after all, why would you want one page to set the contentType to "text/html" and another to "text/plain", for example? Then which content is actually being used?
Furthermore, pageEncoding and contentType (when specifying encoding) must always appear at the top of a page (before any content is written) because they are used at translation time to interpret the character encoding used in the page. However, both may appear in different JSP components with different encoding values, because each page could be encoded differently before compilation...
It's all a bit confusing; try looking at section JSP.1.10.1 of the JSP 2.0 spec. - it's explanation is quite good to take notes from.
