Although XMLSchema spec section 4.2.2 clearly states that it is invalid to import into a namespace a schema from the same namespace, it is not clearly spelled out that (whether?) it holds for descendant imports. In particular we are trying to understand a schema presented us where a schema (A:parent) from namespace A imports a schema (B:child) from namespace B which, in turn, imports a schema (A:generation) from namespace A. It appears to me that these schema should not validate. Reviewing the archives I see questions about circularity of schema but not quite this issue. (Please reply ONLY to list)
