Proper way to use redefine in an hierarchichal set of schemas

["Marty Burns" <burnsmarty@comcast.net>]

All,

 

I am looking for guidance on how to redefine a primitive complex type which is defined in a schema that is imported into several other schemas. The instance document references as master schema that imports the other namespaces and definitions in the hierarchy.

 

If I point an instance document at a schema that imports the document schema after importing a schema redefining the base types, I receive an error saying can’t redefine because base schema is already redefined or imported.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
