Salut George,

Thank you for your help!

The problem with this solution is that I do not know in advance what the =
name of the element will be. I would like ot be able to write ...

Expect an element x of type CommonType of unknown name.

Best regards, Wolf

Hi Wolf,

You can reuse a type in XML schema if you define that is a global type 
definition and then set that type to the elements that you want to have 
the same content. Something like below:

<xs:complexType name="CommonType" mixed="true">
     <xs:sequence>
         <xs:element name="LocalVariables" minOccurs="1" =
maxOccurs="1">
             <xs:complexType>
                 <xs:choice>
                     <xs:sequence>
                         <xs:element name="l_start" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
                         <xs:element name="l_end" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
                     </xs:sequence>
                     <xs:sequence>
                         <xs:element name="l_first" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
                         <xs:element name="l_second" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
                         <xs:element name="l_third" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
                     </xs:sequence>
                 </xs:choice>
             </xs:complexType>
         </xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="TableDrop" type="CommonType"/>
<xs:element name="Sizes" type="CommonType"/>

Best Regards,
George
