Actually, it wouldn't accept that either, it's just the parser errored
out on the <b> element before it could find a <c> element. There is no
way to do this within VisualStudio, it's a limitation within the tool.
They are trying to make the schema fit into a relational model, which
means imposing limitations on the schema language.

I noticed the problem is specifically w/ complex elements (such as <b>)
that have their own children. Such elements map to their own relational
tables. However, simple elements (such as <c>) are merely members of
other relational tables and probably that's why the tool doesn't mind
their reuse under different parents.
