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.
