How can I track the sequence of <Import>s in MSBuild?

Question

I have a complex set of MSBuild .targets files tha I am trying to debug. I want to figure out who is who, in what order, when.

I tried using 'msbuild /v:diag' but I don't see this much detail in there.

Is there a way to get this information?

MSBuild Sidekick from Attrice Corp provides debugging functionality (single stepping and looking at variables) as well as an "Execution plan" view of your script hierarchy.
