To import configurable products, you should:
1. Import both simple and configurable product data using profile 'Data Type' - 'Products'; - make sure that simple products that represent variations have corresponding super attributes set in THIS import. That means if super attribute is 'size' each simple product that will be used for variation of size has to have the attribute set in this profile.
2. Link attributes with configurable products using profile with 'Data Type' - 'Products Extra'
3. Link simple products to configurable products using profile with 'Data Type' - 'Products Extra'
Steps 2 and 3 can be done in a single import file and single profile. See http://unirgy.com/wiki/urapidflow/fixed_row_format#cpsacatalog_product_super_configurable_attribute for sample file structure.
Bellow are couple of example files which could be used to perform configurable product cration.
