No, I was thinking about the global scope and its consequences.
You can't reference local elements and that means for instance that you
can't include or import local elements into others schemas.
This has also an impact on your design style since you might be using
global complex types and element groups to workaround this and I am not
sure everyone is aware of this issue ;=) ...
Hope this helps.
