RE: import in import and namespace

Many bugs in processing Schema have been fixed in Xerces 2.0.0B4, especially
several problems with the proper handling of imports and includes.

If you seem to be having trouble getting "the right thing" to happen with
Xerces, make sure you try the most recent version - the problem may be with
the older Xerces version, not with your understanding of the Rec.

It was my opinion too.

s3.xsd is not read by the TraverseSchema class when processing 
import element. (note : the version of xerces used is xerces_j 1.4.3).
It seems to be a bug.

Because s2.xsd is used "single" (directly for some documents). 

Thanks !
