No, the system has to work out when it sees "import A" that it already knows about A and doesn't need to load it again - just like import in Java. (This can cause complications if you give a location hint that doesn't match the URI where the existing A components were loaded from - are you referring to another copy of the same schema document, or to another schema document for different components in the same namespace? So it's best to stick to a one-to-one relationship between schema documents and namespaces if you can.) Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
