Wildcard vs. Import

I am having a little trouble sorting out the exact differences between 
using wildcards and using import in XML schema. 

I know that a wildcard allows any global elements from the referenced 
schema/namespace to be used in an XML instance document based on the 
current schema but only within the element where the wildcard is 
specified. When I import a schema, does that allow ANY elements from the 
imported schema to be used ANYWHERE in the XML instance document? Or does 
that just allow you to then borrow only specific components from the 
imported schema for use within your current schema and only those 
components are allowed to appear in the XML instance document?

If the latter, is the only difference - between wildcards and import - 
that wildcards allow any element from the referenced schema while import 
only allows the specified elements? Are there any subtle differences that 
I should know about?
