xml element naming

[chasee <chaseexmldb@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

 

can anyone give an opinion on the following:

 

I am using schema to define the xml document structure. Is it valid for several elements with the same name and type to appear in different places in the same document? One at the top level and others are children of elements at different levels. Are they the same elements at all? 

 

Thank you,

A.
