Hello,

A diagram import is to define a new diagram description, using an existing one but without impacting it (basically it avoids to copy a diagram description just because in a different viewpoint you want a slightly different diagram description).
A diagram extension is used to alter an existing diagram description. In general, a diagram extension is in a different viewpoint in order to change the content of the initial diagram when this viewpoint is activated.

Regards,
Steve
