You seem to have misunderstood what xs:import does. Schema A only needs =
to
import schema B if it makes use of definitions in schema B. Your
EFDs_reduced schema doesn't reference any definitions in =
Headers_reduced, so
there's no point in importing it. Your two data documents are both in =
the
namespace of EFDs_reduced, so they are both validated against the
definitions in EFDs_reduced.

You say "the schema which defines the Header tag is imported in the main
one". The imported schema defines a complex type called Header in =
namespace
http://www.gal-gms-ete.esa.int. But no-one ever refers to that type, so =
it
might as well not be defined. There's certainly no magical association
between this complex type and the element definition with local name =
Header
and namespace http://www.gal-gms-ete.esa.int/EFD in the other schema
document. They would be unrelated even if the names matched.

Declaring a local element like this:

<xsd:element name="Header" minOccurs="1"/>

allows <Header> to have any content it likes. The only way to refine =
this
definition is to create a type that's derived by restriction from the
complex type in which this local element definition appears - however, =
in
this case you can't do that, because the complex type is anonymous.
