+1.
I thought we went through this a while back and decided that we will
replicate the same visibility rules that XML Schema has and hence the
same encapsulation...

No, I'm saying the exact opposite. This is encapsulation. A imports B.
That's all A needs to do in order to use the stuff in B. A doesn't need
to know that B imports C.

Hi Gudge, all:
Are you saying that if I extend an interface "I" in namespace "foo" it
isn't good enough to import "foo", but I also MUST import any namespaces
used by components inside "I"? In other words, the child WSDL below
would NOT be legal without <import namespace="http://NSGrandparent"/>?
WSDL for "http://NSChild":
---------
<import namespace="http://NSParent"/>
<interface name="child" extends="p:parent"
xmlns:p="http://NSParent">
...
</interface>
---------
WSDL for "http://NSParent":
---------
<import namespace="http://NSGrandparent"/>
<interface name="parent" extends="g:grandparent"
xmlns:g="http://NSGrandparent">
...
</interface>
---------
If so this seems a bit annoying. Does schema work this way?
