I have some questions related to ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider:

Why is it called ...LocalScopeProvider while it is derived from AbstractGlobalScopeDelegatingScopeProvider?
Am I correct in thinking that it scans the current namespace for the "importedNamespace" attribute but only in objects that are direct children from the top object of the namespace?

Hi Mark,

it is called GlobalScopeDelegatingScopeProvider because it will delegate
to the GlobalScopeProvider eventually. On the other hand it is called
LocalScopeProvider because it uses only local information to create its
own scopes will their respective outer scopes are produced by the
GlobalScopeProvider.
You are right: the default implementation will only use
importedNamespaces from directly contained elements.
In other words: it will try to find these namespaces for every element
in the container hierarchy (every 'namespace'). If you want to resolve a
cross reference in SubChild, the implementation will look for
importedNamespaces in SubChilds contents, in Childs Contents and in
Roots contents.

Regards,
Sebastian
