Multiple imports of the same namespace

I am receiving an error when I validate a Schema that has multiple
imports of the same namespace when I use XerceJ 2.6.2. I've recreated my
problem using some simplified Schemas below.

I'm hoping this group can verify that my Schema are correct. The main
question being is importing multiple files of the same namespace legal
and am I using the correct syntax. 

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond.

</xs:schema>

Xerce's error message:

Line 5, Column 55: src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name
'gems:DiamondType' to a(n) 'type definition' component. 

As a side note, Turbo 2.4.1 is not resolving this either (could it be
built on Xerces?).
