Using either simple or element content

Hi
 
Is there any way in XML schema to specify that an element can either contain
some text or else contains specific elements. For example:
<X>23</X> is valid and <X><Y>45</Y></X> is also valid but  not
<X>23<Y>45</Y></X>. Use of a "mixed" content model permits the first two
cases but does not forbid the latter. 
 
I have tried to extend a complex type containing complex content from a
complex type containing simple content. XML Spy version 4.0 allows this but
I understand from previous postings in this group that this is not a correct
XML schema construct. 
Is there any other mechanism that can support this ?
 
thanks for any help you can give on this
