Is it possible in SASS to inherit from a class in another file?

Question

The question pretty much says it all.

For instance, if I were using, say, Twitter Bootstrap, could I define classes in my own SASS stylesheet that inherit from Boots

Answer 1

To my knowledge, you have to use @import of the file containing the classes you want to use into your SASS file in order to utilize them in that file. However, I am not a SASS/SCSS expert, so someone may know of another way to remotely use them that I am not aware of.
