| Attribute |
Description |
| id |
Optional. Specifies a unique ID for the element |
| schemaLocation |
Required. Specifies the URI to the schema
to include in the target namespace of the containing schema |
| any attributes |
Optional. Specifies any other attributes with non-schema

Example 1
With included schemas, the included files must all reference the same target
namespace. If the schema target namespace don't match, the include won't work:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com/schema">
<xs:include schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com/schema/customer.xsd"/>
<xs:include schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com/schema/company.xsd"/>
..
..
..
</xs:schema>
