If I've understood correctly, you want

 (tag , ( lowscale | (hiscale, hialarm) | (...)))

You can say this in W3C XML Schema as follows:

"James, David" <david.james@i...> writes:

 <xsd:element name="modify">
   <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
       <xsd:element ref="tag"/>
       <xsd:choice minOccurs="0">
         <xsd:element ref="lowscale"/>
         <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element ref="hiscale"/>
          <xsd:element ref="hialarm"/>
         </xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:sequence>
           . . .
         </xsd:sequence>
       </xsd:choice>
     </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
 </xsd:element>

Hope this helps
