now trying extending schemas using xs:include

Hi again,

This time I am having problems extending some schemas (basically xhtml1-strict
with some modifications) using xs:include. The extending schema and instance
document validates in XMLSpy and msv-20020414, but gives an error when trying to
load in IE6/MSXML4:

Error:
http://localhost:8080/lsb/Schemas/content.xsd#schema[1]/element[position()=1 and
@name='article']/complexType[1]/complexContent[1]/extension[1]
Derived type and the base type must have the same content type

The extending schema looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
  targetNamespace="http://livestoryboard.com/lsb/Schemas/2003/03/content"
  xmlns="http://livestoryboard.com/lsb/Schemas/2003/03/content"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  elementFormDefault="qualified"
  version="1.0">

  <xs:include schemaLocation="simple_types.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="attributes.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="inlines.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="blocks.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="lsb_blocks.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="global_defs.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="table.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="lists.xsd"/>
  <xs:include schemaLocation="form.xsd"/>

  <xs:element name="article">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:complexContent>
        <xs:extension base="Flow">
          <xs:attributeGroup ref="attrs"/>
        </xs:extension>
      </xs:complexContent>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>

...[snipped other content types (like article) that show in the msv-20020414
error msgs]...

</xs:schema>

The reference to the extension 'Flow' is in the blocks.xsd and it looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
  targetNamespace="http://livestoryboard.com/lsb/Schemas/2003/03/content"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns="http://livestoryboard.com/lsb/Schemas/2003/03/content"
  elementFormDefault="qualified"
  version="1.0">
...[snip]...

  <xs:complexType name="Flow" mixed="true">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation>
      "Flow" mixes block and inline and is used for list items etc.
      </xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>
    <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
      <xs:group ref="block"/>
      <xs:element ref="form"/>
      <xs:group ref="inline"/>
      <xs:group ref="misc"/>
    </xs:choice>
  </xs:complexType>

...[snip]...
</xs:schema>

Can anybody see where I am going wrong?

Thank you very much for any help,
-Rob
