They are fair game for abilities that trigger when they "come into play".

[D'Angelo 2007/03/25] Myojin of Cleansing Fire: + The divinity counters only provide the indestructibility as long as this card is in play. When this card leaves play, the counters remain but do not do anything. The counters do not actually have any effect other than to identify which permanents the ability of this card applies to.

You can have more than one card imprinted at one time. [D'Angelo 2007/03/25] + You do not play the imprinted spells, instead as a triggered ability at the beginning of your upkeep, you pick one of the imprinted spells and play it for free during the resolution of the triggered ability. [D'Angelo 2007/03/25] Paradox Haze: + It can be played on yourself or another player. [D'Angelo 2007/03/25] + If more than one is affecting a single player, that player gets an extra upkeep for each one.
