According to VS2005 (and I agree with it) 1.xsd is not a valid schema. You can have multiple elements with the same name in the same complex type, but those elements have to have the same type.
Also, I think you need to make the URIs contained in the values of your xmlns:tns and targetNamespace attributes the same (probably xmlns:tns="http://abc.com";). Even if 1.xsd were valid, I'm not sure why either 2.xml or 3.xml might pass validation as there should be a minimum requirement for two b elements.
