Ed, maybe this picture could help me to explain.
A.ecore and B.ecore are meta-models, and A1.xmi is a model instance which conforms to A.ecore.
For A.ecore, the Ecore.ecore has been manually imported whereas in A1.xmi it appears automatically. Here, in A1.xmi, B.ecore has also been manually loaded.
In the combo box I expected to find all available instances of EClass, I mean, all classes in Ecore (the EClass itself, but also EReference, EAttribute, EPackage, etc.) + all classes in A.ecore + (in particular) all classes in B.ecore, to establish the reference "Pointed_Class" to B_Class

Cesar,
The diagram doesn't change my answer about the problem of using a
dynamic model for Ecore.ecore yet wanting instances that conform to the
generated Ecore model to conform to it. As I suggested, if you generate
a model for A.ecore, your generated editor will be able to edit A.xmi
instances and then what you're trying to do (reference EClasses in
B.ecore) will work.
