What I have in mind is, using a very simplified declaration:
in schema A:
<schema targetNamespace="nsA" blockDefault="#all" [...] //note the
blockDefault here
<complexType name="Customer">
<sequence>
<element name="address" type="Address"
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="Address">
[...]
</complexType>
</schema>
in schema B, importing schema A:
<schema targetNamespace="nsB"
<import [...] location=schemaB/>
<complexType name="MyCustomer">
<restriction base="nsA:Customer">
<sequence>
<element name="address" type="MyAddress" //type restriction
</sequence>
</restriction>
</complexType>
<complexType name="MyAddress">
<restriction base="nsA:Address">
[...]
<restriction>
</complexType>
</schema>
