[MSBuild Warning] There is a circular reference involving the import of file ...codgear.delphi.targets...

Sometimes when I ctrl+enter on some units in uses clause, I was keeping get:

 

[MSBuild Warning] There is a circular reference involving the import of file "c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\21.0\Bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets". This file may have been imported more than once, or you may have attempted to import the main project file. All except the first instance of this file will be ignored.

 

What is it about,  any idea how to get rid of it?  some of these unit are used by the project only.

Sometimes the IDE inserts two includes for CodeGear.Delphi.Targets (I think it's a bug in the updating code for projects):

    <Import Project="$(BDS)\Bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets" Condition="Exists('$(BDS)\Bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets')"/>

One, with the condition, one without.

Not sure this has something to do with the message though.

Good catch!.  Removing the one without condition seems made it working.  Thanks.
