Something like this:

<xs:schema>

<xs:import namespace="http://www.foo.ca/XMLSchemas"
        schemaLocation="http://www.foo.ca/XMLSchemas/UAT/Transmit.xsd"/>

<xs:element name="myrpt">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="id"/>
    <xs:element name="status"/>
    <xs:element ref="i:rptTransmit" xmlns:i="http://www.foo.ca/XMLSchemas"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

That's just a sketch leaving out all the noise, but I hope you get the idea.
