Re: Can one inline schema import definitions from a second inline schema?

We've had trouble from the lack of clarity when layering wsdl:import 
over xsd:import.

How about importing inlined schema contained in the types section of an 
imported wsdl?

1.  What does schemaLocation mean?
2.  What are the precedence rules if namespace collisions are detected?
