so basically what happen is , when we don’t check included variable , then the maping should be done manually and if we check included variable then it will create the copy of variable and flows

I still don’t fully grasp your problem. What is it that you are trying to achieve when importing your component?

So if you import your component without including any of the linked variables, workflows or variables, it will just break the bindings. You’d need to rebind them manually to the ones you want.  
One way to reduce this step, is to use component variables/workflows/formulas (given that those are only meant to be used inside of your component)
