<xs:schema id="schema-images" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  <xs:include schemaLocation="HowToContent_Common.xsd"/>
  ...
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Does not pickup the definitions in the common .xsd files when running validate:xsd. It returns errors for items defined in the 'included' .xsd.

Referencing a 'sub-DTD' does work with the DTD (validate:dtd) when the common element is included using a similar path. 

<!ENTITY % common 

     PUBLIC "-//MOTOROLA//DTD HOW2 COMMON//EN"
             "HowToContent_Common.mod">
%common;

How do I get validate:xsd to grab the sub-components? I'm currently using validate:xsd like this:

let $xsd := db:open('AppResources')/*[@id=$xsd-id]

try {
                                  validate:xsd($xml-file, $xsd)
                             } catch * {
                                   <li style="color:red;"><p>File '{$xml-file/base-uri()}' doesn&apos;t validate against the '{$xsd/base-uri()}' schema.</p><p>{'Error [' || $err:code || ']: ' || $err:description}</p></li>
                             } 

My files validate correctly when I run validation in XML Oxygen, so I know the XSD itself is working. 

I tried using lower caps in the xs:include reference as I noticed that the .xsd files get renamed to lower caps on import (but not DTDs [because they were considered raw and unindexed?]). Anyhow, it didn't help.
