As said in earlier mail that IDL definitions can be mapped to WSDL definitions and vice versa. There is an
specification by OMG (CORBA to WSDL/SOAP Interworking Specification) that handles the mapping between IDL and
WSDL and vice versa.

For example:
In IDL, interfaces support multiple interface inheritance. WSDL does not have this construct and therefore
interface inheritance is mapped as repetition of the operations declared in the parenting interfaces. Types
declared within the parent interface scope are not repeated as that type space is available to the derived
interfaces.

So as such WSDL doesn't have limitation in carrying the information associated with an object that inherits
from multiple object definitions.

You may want to have a look at the above mentioned specification for full mapping.
