I cannot seem to work out how you would create a schema that allowed any
number of elements A, B, C, or D inside an element sample.  e.g.:

<sample>
  <C/>
  <A/>
  <A/>
  <C/>
  <C/>
  <B/>
</sample>

Something to the effect of:

<element name="sample">
  <complexType>
    <group contentModel="unordered">
      <element name="A" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
      <element name="B" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
      <element name="C" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
      <element name="D" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </group>
  </complexType>
</element>

You could easily see where this would be relevant when the XML is being
generated by some sequential process generating XML elements with time
ordering when certain events occur.
