Thanks.
I saw your comment "Must be separate grammar to use?". Why don't you use 
two options like lexerSuperClass and parserSuperClass or something like 
that?

Yes, imports can be different, but it does not hurt if you import some 
more classes which you only need in the lexer also into the parser. 
Users of my software will write grammars and some additional classes 
themselves, so one of my goals is to keep their code at the smallest and 
easiest level possible (that's why I'm really interested in ANTLR 3.0). 
I think I'll implement this on my own, you've got more important things 
to do for the 3.0 final than this one.
