Sorry for slow reply.
Presuming by 'element name="B" extended from "A"' you mean 'element
name="B" with type "bT" extended from "A"', making X be of
type tC will be sufficient if the extensions are all optional. If
they're not, you're stuck. In general, XML Schema does not support
disjunction at the level of complex types as a whole.
