Import same class globally inside functions file

I have a function file called getFeatures.m that looks like:

function [features] getFeatures()
  % Import the XPath classes
  import javax.xml.xpath.*

    % other code  
end

function [name] = getName()
  % Import the XPath classes
  import javax.xml.xpath.*

    % other code
end

as you can see, both functions import xpath library, since I have a lot of functions that need to import that class how can I do this a single time?

I don't think you can. I asked a related question a few months ago:
