Hey, 

I) the syntax of your schemaLocation is correct,
(Have a look XML Schema Primer - Part 0, section 5.6,
 'a schemaLocation attribute contains pairs of values: The
 first member of each pair is the namespace for wich the second
 member is the hint describing where to find to an appropriate
 schema document'

II) Then you can use the schema in your instance document.

But have a look at 'xs:include' it might help you.


I tested a simplified document with xerces and it works fine.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<foo:foo1 xmlns:foo="http://www.foo.de/foo"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.foo.de/foo usageOfTwoSchema_1.xsd
http://www.foo.de/foo usageOfTwoSchema_1.xsd">
  <foo:text>hallo world</foo:text>
</foo:foo1>
