Yes. When Schema A or Schema B get used, the schema validator constructs, in memory, one big schema that includes everything from Schema A, Schema B and Schema C. All the components can reference each other across physical file boundaries. However, if you ever used Schema C on its own, or included or imported it into a schema that didn't include or import Schema A, then the references wouldn't be resolvable.
