Another alternative:

Import one month
Reconcile
Repeat

-----
But I'll add another case for including later transactions:

-For whatever reason, you entered them for a later date than they really 
occurred.

If they aren't visible, you'll think they are missing and then enter 
them againor enter a balancing transaction, either of which would be 
unnecessary and have to be fixed later anyway.

Adrien
