I disagree with this change. Unless we think someone will need to  
import the message types, they aren't relevant anywhere except within  
the WSDL and should remain there.

This should be an xsd:include, then, not an xsd:import:

<xsd:include schemaLocation="bes-factory.xsd"/>

No need to hack a namespace into the WSDL's schema section...

The types weren't the same at all. One set was the single-activity  
type which is then referenced in the multi-activity type that is  
actually used in the BES factory operation messages.

I fixed the things I commented on above and am attaching new versions  
of these two files. I've also validated them with the GT tooling.
