Sass compilation fails every time a partial changes that wasn't the last partial changed

Hate to open a new issue for this, but I don't see any way to re-open a closed issue. Please see: bdkjones/CodeKit#318

Are you using Compass? If so, disable the Sass-cache in your config.rb file.

Yep, I am using Compass. I added this to my config.rb file based on:
http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#caching

Sass::Plugin.options[:cache] = false

This does indeed make compiling slower, but it seems to have reduced the number of compilation errors by about half. However I still frequently get this error (every 3-5 saves): bdkjones/CodeKit#318 (comment)

A bit more info about this problem. My projects always generate two CSS files from:

• app-mq.scss
• app-no-mq.scss

The only thing they do is import _app-loader.scss which imports all the other partials, and there is a variable assigned to either include or exclude media queries. Example:

$mq-support: true;
$mq-fixed-value: false;
@import "app-loader";

$mq-support: false;
$mq-fixed-value: 1024px;
@import "app-loader";

I imagine what happens is compilation of these two files kicks off and somewhere the cache starts stepping on the toes of the other compilation process (always app-mq.scss fails to compile). It appears to be reverse alphabetical which I tested by changing the file names.

The best during-dev fix is disabling import of "app-loader" in app-no-mq.scss, but if I'm testing in older browsers then I end up hitting CMD+S two times whenever I save a partial. These makes the fans go wild, but the second compilation usually works without errors.

Ideally they would just compile.

Hi Brendan,

Can you send me this project so I can take a look? Thanks.
