It seems to me that this would have some interesting uses...such as
saying things like "If we have veggies, you will eat them!" with a
conditional imperative.  Or possibly, similar to the perfect: "You
will have eaten your veggies", but with an imperative.  As it is in
English, you just have to use the future or conditional and let the
listener/reader infer that it is an imperative.

In (the most current working edition of) Cenoji, the imperative
implies future only, as you can't change something in the past,
although I'm changing everything around.

As for a new lang I'm working on (started a couple days ago), it's
just a bunch of particles (it's an isolating language, although it has
a lot of principles such as cases and such that are typically found in
agglutinating languages), and you can combine particles to your
heart's content.  Simply throw the imperative and past tense to
express a past imperative, etc. :)
