In answer to your specific questions:
In the first example, the xsd file is being imported in the definition
section, and I'm assuming is available throughout the rest of the wsdl after
that. In the second, the xsd is being imported in a schema within the types
section and is therefore only available in that schema. Is this correct?
I don't understand the significance/difference between the first example
using "location" and the second using "schemaLocation". I also don't
understand how to reference the file's location. Does it have to be made
available on the internet as example 1 suggests, or is the xsd files
co-located with wsdl good enough?
<wsdl:import> and <xsd:import> are different elements. The location attribute in <wsdl:import> is "location". The location attribute in <xsd:import> is "schemaLocation". The URI specified in either location attribute can be an absolute or relative URL.

Hello Shelli,
The first example looks like the ones in the WSDL1.1 spec.
However, according to the WS-I spec it is wrong.
It says that you should not use wsdl:import to import xsd files. Use
wsdl:import to import wsdl files, xsd:import to import xsd files.
The second example seems to correct this.
I think both would work fine with Axis. To prevent problems in the
future, I'd go with the second example.
The file location is a URI. A URL is fine, but a relative path to the
file is fine too.
Regards,
Dies
