Aaron is Haroon. I know only one Haroon i.e brother of Prophet Moosa. After Prophet Moosa Allah send Prophet Isa. so does this verse speaks about some generations or there is one more Haroon.

Okay this is not doubtful it is quite clear. There was an ancient Mary also ... in the Bible her name is Miriam sister of Moses and Aaron. She overlooked the boy Moses when he was put in the water in the reed basket. Now all three of these siblings were believe it or not children of Amram who is Imran.
So this ancient Miriam is a daughter of Imran and the more recent Miriam is also a daughter of Imran, so out of jest the Jews call the more recent Miriam "sister of Aaron" because of her name sake. If you notice Allah (SWT) is only quoting the Jews, so Mary being sister of Aaron should not be taken literally as true, because Allah (SWT) is quoting the false jest of the Jews, which is not really false. They were using it as a means to remind Mary of her noble lineage, that by saying "O Sister of Aaron" being something similar to meaning "O you of noble descent"
Now in semetic languages we can call the direct father or the ancestor the father in the same tongue. So I'm not sure who the Qur'an is referring to when it says daughter of Imran, the father or the ancestor. It could be applicable to both.
