Hi Chris, perhaps this will help you: http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/schema.html
"The parser permits situations in which there is circular importing; that is, where there is a series of schemas which contain <import> information items whose effect is recursive. However, the parser only permits forward references--that is, references directed from the direction of the schema cited in the instance document to other schemas. For instance, if schema A imports schema B which also imports schema A, and an instance document validates against schema A, then any reference in schema b to an information item from schema A will produce an error. Circular <include>s have similar limitations." greetings maik > I am using Xerces 1.4.2 to validate an instance against an XML schema, > (using sax.SAX2Count) and running into problems.
