Combining WSDLs

Hi Matthieu et al.
I've been reading and setting up Twister this week and have come across
an issue i'm sure you guys can resolve.

I'm have a BPEL workflow which executes 3 services and then returns a
response. I'm happy to say I can get 1 to work (i can see the correct
response in the logger & xindice output)  but no more due to the WSDL
import limitation issue outlined in the documentation.

So my question is how do you successfully combine WSDL files which are
normally separate? I have tired to cut and paste but this results in the
2nd server never getting invoked and no response is returned. 

I have tested the files on the IBM WS-BPEL engine and they work well. I
would however like to get them working on Twister as I intend to return
the source code of the project I am building to the community (a Web
Service Topology configuration language).

By the way i'm pretty pleased with your work so far. There are a few
things which could be tidied up in the help files. If I get my proof of
concept up and running I'll work my ideas on to you.

Here are the 3 files of interest (i've altered the flow to 2 services
for brevity).. A 4th file is my bad attempt at merging the WSDLs
1) The workflow BPEL
