Thanks Anne - that makes more sense to me now - although in the WSDL spec ( http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl) it does show an example where a schema "stockquote.xsd" is imported where the types element would normally be. I remember this as it confused me at the time - how does a wsdl reader know that the imported schema is part of the types element ?
