How can simple content contain a sequence of elements?

Subject: RE: referencing a schema fails
Hate to ask for help again, all, but I'm making great progress. With
Paul's help, I seem to have narrowed it down to a single problem area.
Using the DecisionSoft validator, I am down to three errors -- and they
all seem to involve the same concern, the proper placement of
"sequence."
Two of the errors occur when I have an inline element that may repeat,
like
this:
<intro>Lots and lots of <more file="blah.htm">related
text</more>
In such a case, I tried a few things, but most recently
<xsd:element name="intro">
<xsd:complexType mixed="true">
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
<xsd:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:element ref="more" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
The error says that "sequence" here isn't allowed. Similarly, another
element attempts to place an attribute with an element that otherwise
contains only child elements but no text. So I tried to place within a
complex element an attribute and a sequence.
