<title>Creating an import statement</title>
<shortdesc>The import statement is used to import other WSDL documents or
XML schemas into your WSDL document. This enables you to have more modular
WSDL documents. The use of the <b>import</b> statement allows the separation
of the different elements of a service definition into independent documents,
which can then be imported as needed. This technique helps in writing clearer
service definitions, by separating the definitions according to their level
of abstraction.</shortdesc>
