RE: Second level xs:import

If I import a Schema file from namespace Foo and the Schema File I imported
itself imports a schema file from namespace Bar then effectively the WSDL
file has imported namespace Bar as well and should be free to reference Bar.
The inheritance chain is clear. The namespaces are all explicitly declared.
What's the problem?
