Paul,

Yes, exactly that.  The XML looks like

<customer>
    <name>Company Co</name>
   <order>
        <orderid>1</orderid>
       <product>test prod</product>
   </order>
</customer>
<customer>
    <name>Other Company Co</name>
   <order>
        <orderid>12</orderid>
       <product>test2 prod</product>
   </order>
   <order>
        <orderid>13</orderid>
       <product>test3 prod</product>
   </order>
</customer>

Thanks.
