Nested WSDL in RDz

Customer needs to map, generate and deploy a callout WebService into IMS Soap Gateway.
Usually he imports WSDL and COBOL copybook into RDz, do mapping, generate artefacts and finally deploy into soap gateway.
Customer needs to use a WSDL that imports other two WSDL that in turn import a lot of XSDS.
For what we have understood by PMR we opened, RDz do not support nested WSDLs (WSDL importing another WSDL).
We would need this as a possibility for the future.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    I try to better explain our request.
    Customer would like to use the 'top down' technique to create the copybook starting from the WSDL, using rdz 8.5.1.
    Once he has created the copybook from rdz (resource perspective) he then can use the 'meet in the middle' procedure (enterprise service tool).
    So, the problem is he can't create the COBOL copybook because rdz does not supports nested WSDL.
    Our request is to make rdz accept nested WSDL in order to create the COBOL copybook using the 'top down' technique

    The attachment zip only contains the wsdl and does not contain any copybooks. To be able to understand this requirement please provide the COBOL portion that is mentioned in the description.
