Like Eric already said it is an error for MSXML4 to report this as an error but
I think this has been fixed for the final release.
In the meantime I think a workaround would be to include only Schema1.xsd in
your Schema2.xsd file. Since Schema1.xsd already import Common.xsd these
declarations should be available to Schema2.xsd as well.
Cheers,
