Validating against schema subset

Hi,

Is it possible to validate a xml against subset of a schema. I'm having
a xml file which is going to be part of a bigger xml file. For the
bigger xml file, I'm  having xml schema to validate against. Before
adding my xml file to bigger xml file, I need to validate against
particular element definition in the schema file.
Is there anyway to do it?

Thanks & Regards,
Amrit
