Sometimes the biosynthesis of constituent molecules is a kind of  
organization of the component:

        is_a GO:0045230 ! capsule organization
          is_a GO:0045227 ! capsule polysaccharide biosynthetic  
process ***

Sometimes it is part_of:

          is_a GO:0031505 ! fungal-type cell wall organization
           is_a GO:0009272 ! fungal-type cell wall biogenesis
            pt_o GO:0051278 ! fungal-type cell wall polysaccharide  
biosynthetic process ***

Let me know which it is, and we will encode it in the relation -- then  
the reasoner can fix these in one fell swoop...
