XSV will ignore all xs:imports with the same namespace after the first successful one, as the REC allows it to. The safe way to do what you want is to define a stub schema document in the imported namespace which consists of two (or more) xs:includes of the documents you want, and then use _that_ schema doc as the schemaLoc of a single xs:import. ht -- Henry S.
