what i've done is to define a XML schema for a ticket (it's not complete
yet, but a start)

<xsd:complexType name="Ticket">
 <xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="id" type="xsd:int"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Subject"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Owner"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Cc" type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="AdminCc"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Requestors"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="DependsOn"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="DependedOnBy"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="MemberOf"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Members"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Refersto"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="ReferredToBy"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Transactions"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Starts"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Started"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Due"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Resolved"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Created"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Told"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="LastUpdated"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Creator"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="LastUpdatedBy"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Queue"
type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Type"
type="xsd:string"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>


then i'm able to define the createTicketRequest message like this:
<message name="ticketCreateRequest">
        <part name="ticket" type="xsd:Ticket"/>
</message>

and use the same type for  the response message of the getTickets()
function and as  the input parameter for updateTicket() 

this means that the type (or XML Schema) 'Ticket' can be reused for 
different functions (input and output parameters). It's also easier to
define a 'ListofTickets type.
