Hi,
I have 2 XSDs, test.xsd and test1.xsd 

test.xsd

<xs:schema targetNamespace="test" xml:ns="test1"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
	<xs:import namespace="test1" schemaLocation="C:\Documents and
Settings\dsankara\Desktop\Include Test\test1.xsd"/>
	<xs:element name="Test_Root">
		<xs:annotation>
			<xs:documentation>Comment describing your root
element</xs:documentation>
		</xs:annotation>
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element name="t1" type="xs:string"/>
				<xs:element name="t2" type="xs:string"/>
				<xs:element name="Test1_Root"/>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

test1.xsd
<xs:schema targetNamespace="test1"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
	<xs:element name="Test1_Root">
		<xs:annotation>
			<xs:documentation>Comment describing your root
element</xs:documentation>
		</xs:annotation>
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element name="E1" type="xs:string"/>
				<xs:element name="E2" type="xs:string"/>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

My goal is to import test1.xsd into test.xsd and reference the root element
of test1.xsd so that whenever i add or remove elements in test1.xsd i don't
have to change anything in test.xsd.
For example, if i add another element called "E3" in test1.xsd i should be
able to access it without any code changes in test.xsd.
Is it possible to do it?

Thanks
