[Ontology-editors] another question about biogenesis/organization

Sorry, I still haven't got my head around this...see my recent SF 
item.....problem with my slimming
I am still trying to get a slim for a tutorial which gives good coverage 
of all of my annotated gene products.

Previously I had the term "cell wall organization and biogenesis" which 
covered all of cell wall organization and biogenesis.

Now organization and biogenesis are "disjoint" (am I using the correct 
terminology?) I need to include *Both* the  organization and biogenesis 
term, when it seems as though I really want one term to cover both of 
these cell wall processes at this level, and that they are intimately 
related. I'm not sure how my original annotations got split between the 
the 2 new terms but there isn't much overlap now......

73 to biogenesis
and 63 to organization
21 to both
However when I look through the list I am pretty sure all of those 
annotated to biogenesis to equally be annotated to organization.

Now, if i don't include both of these terms in the slim, I get gene 
products which do not map to a high level term.

Any thoughts?
