You need to use the same partner port for both the Send-ing orchestration
and Receive-ing orchestration.

I'll elaborate with an example:

Say, there are two orchestrations O1 (sender) and O2 (receiver) in the same
assembly X.
Say, you define two ports P1 (in O1) and P2 (in O2) of type PT.

When running the port configuration wizard for P1 select "Direct Binding"
and select "Port on Partner Orchestration" as "X.O1.P1".
Now, when running the port configuration wizard for P2 select "Direct
Binding" and select "Port on Partner Orchestration" as "X.O1.P1". (yes, the
same again!)
Aternatively, you could select "X.O2.P2" for both and that will work too as
long as you use the same port to do the direct binding on both ends of the
binding.

Hope that helps!
