That's been a long standing featire request for schematron include.

The cuurent iso schematron distribution contains a iso_dsdl_include.xsl
stylesheet implementing schemtron includes includimg sone extended 
behaviour intended for future versions of iso schematron, in particular


The proposed behaviour for the update to ISO Schematron has been
implemented. If an
include points to an element with the same name as the parent, then that
element's
contents will be included. This supports the merge style of inclusion.
