Re: import/include question

If I'm following your example, this is not legal because A.xsd has an 
explicit reference to a component from namespace http://www.example.com/N1 
but no import for that namespace.  The rule is, each document must declare 
its dependencies on anything it explicitly references.  Namespaces that 
are used implicitly (for example the base type of some type) need not be 
imported by your schema document.  I hope this helps.

Hi,
 
I have one question about the import/include. I have following three 
schemas. A.xsd and C.xsd have same targetNamespace N1; and B.xsd has 
targetNamespace N2. A.xsd imports B.xsd, and B.xsd imports C.xsd. Is this 
example legal since there is no direct "include" between A.xsd and C.xsd?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Rajul

A.xsd:
 
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/N1" 
 xmlns:n2="http://www.example.com/N2" 
 xmlns:n1="http://www.example.com/N1" 
 xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 
 <xs:import namespace="http://www.example.com/N2" schemaLocation="b.xsd"/>

  </xs:sequence>
