To be clear, what I meant by: "a *proto3* package cannot reference another
*proto3* package"
To complete that statement, "within the same repository".
So, *I am not sure if I can do a local import of a proto3 package*.
There are multiple Protobuf packages within this repository, and each
package is associated with a specific golang microservice.
protobuf
├── foo
│ ├── task_jobs.pb.go
│ ├── task_jobs.proto
│ ├──service.pb.go
│ └──service.proto
└── bar
├── service.pb.go
└── service.proto
services

│ └──microservice Go code
└── bar
