Hello Brian,

You can write the content model as:
(a, b?, c?) | (b, c?) | c

<xs:complexType>
   <xs:choice>
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element ref="a"/>
       <xs:element ref="b" minOccurs="0"/>
       <xs:element ref="c" minOccurs="0"/>
     </xs:sequence>
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element ref="b"/>
       <xs:element ref="c" minOccurs="0"/>
     </xs:sequence>
     <xs:element ref="c"/>
   </xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>

Best Regards,
George
