 Note that variables only represent file names one level deep. If `file` is `'foo/bar'`, the import would fail. For more advanced usage, you can use the [glob import](#glob-import) feature.
 
+Also note that the dynamic import must match the following rules to be bundled:
+
+- Imports must start with `./` or `../`: ``import(`./dir/${foo}.js`)`` is valid, but ``import(`${foo}.js`)`` is not.
+- Imports must end with a file extension: ``import(`./dir/${foo}.js`)`` is valid, but ``import(`./dir/${foo}`)`` is not.
+- Imports to the own directory must specify a file name pattern: ``import(`./prefix-${foo}.js`)`` is valid, but ``import(`./${foo}.js`)`` is not.
+
+These rules are enforced to prevent accidentally importing files that are not intended to be bundled. For example, without these rules, `import(foo)` would bundle everything in the file system.

 ## WebAssembly
 
 Pre-compiled `.wasm` files can be imported with `?init`.
