The rules are:
1. Constructs in included
schemas are defined in the target namespace of the including schema. The
included schema's namespace must match the targetNamespace of the includer, or
it must have no namespace.
2. Import must be for
schemas with namespaces different from the target namespace of the
importer. The import element allows the importer to refer to the
constructs of the imported schema, but does not add anything to the
targetnamespace of the importer.
Thus:
1. a include c defines an element
a:c (where a: represents a's target namespace)
2. b include c defines an element
b:c
3. my then can reference (through imports
of a and b) the two elements a:c and b:c.

Subject: Import, Include and
namespace
This is not
exactly a Xerces question but a general XML Schema
question.
If a schema
("my") imports two schemas ("a" and "b") and "a" & "b" include "c",
does "c" belong to the two different namespaces in "my"? "my",
"a" and "b" have different targetNamespaces.
