You can also achieve it without using a group:

<xsd:element name="XXX">
     <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence  minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="2">
         <xsd:element name="aaa" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
         <xsd:element name="bbb" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
     </sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
 </xsd:element>

but I guess that Nic would also have liked that

passes through this schema which isn't the case here since you don't
have twice the sequence.
