Thanks, I found the #include, therefore I simply added the .idl into the
project to get I shurely maked.
As you expected it only worked at the beginning of the file.

When you use import directive to import one IDL file into another, MIDL just
puts signle #include statement in the generated header file. That's why you
can't see the imported interface. Let's suppose you have files A.IDL and
B.IDL and you want to import file B in A. Then the situation will look like
this:
// A.IDL starts here
...
import "B.IDL";
...
// Geenrated A.H starts here
...
#include "B.H";
...
So, there is no problem to use interfaces from B.IDL.
I'm not sure about importing the file in library section, but if you have
problems you can try to move the import "CP.IDL" at the begining of the
file.

Two things to remedy this: use include instead
of import; or put (a reference to)
your interface inside a library block.

Add a library block for your interface and then importlib() your type
library instead. You don't need to import the IDL in this case, but
you can if you wish - just move the import line to the begining
along with the other imports. Then it might be good idea to have
two IDLs for the interface, the first where you define it and you
import it in your new IDL, and the second where you import the
interface definition only to build a type library from it:
import "oaidl.idl";
import "ocidl.idl";
import "itf.idl"
[...]
library ItfLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
importlib("stdole2.tlb");
interface IMyItf;
};
