This is not solved by style but by design.
You simply don't use too much nested objects. That's a sign of something 
wrong in your overall object model.

Since I do not encounter this problem as often as you are, I guess it is 
a matter of habbits.

however, considering what

"import a.module.that.is.quite.nested as myModule"

is doing, I guess using a local variable to store your nested method is 
just fine.
