Subject: Valid reference to external namespace?

Hello,

 

Below, I have an example of an XSD file that is referencing a type defined in another schema, but I’m not positive that it’s doing it correctly.  Note that the CSTA namespace is defined as “csta”, and in the RegisterDevice type, I reference a type from that namespace: type=”csta:DeviceID”.  There is no explicit “include” statement.  Is this a legitimate way to reference that type?  Castor seems to think so, but I wanted to verify it anyway…

 

Thanks!
