Sam,

Thanks for posting!
Yes, I made sure to read the documentation very closely but it didn't seem to shed any light on this particular error - other than "SimpleTypes must come after their base types in the schema body."

I searched through the module source and found where the error was being generated:

_err("Found <simpleType> illegally combined with complexType>.") if $mother->{is_complex};

By "illegally combined" does the error mean simpleType cannot be a child (or parent) of complexType?

I hope the following .xsd snippet will be helpful as it seem s exemplary of the file as a whole.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
