The NOTE at the end of section 4.2.1 [1] reads as follows: "The above is carefully worded so that multiple <include>ing of the same schema document will not constitute a violation of clause 2 of Schema Properties Correct (3.15.6), but applications are allowed, indeed encouraged, to avoid <include>ing the same schema document more than once to forestall the necessity of establishing identity component by component." ht [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#compound-schema -- Henry S.
