Can one mix "referecened" and "inline" complex types in XSD?

I was wondering if mixing "referecened" and "inline" types is allowed in XSD, e.g.:

<schema>
  <element name="library" type="departments">
    <complexType>
      <sequence>
        <element name="department_name" type="string"/>
      </sequence>
    </complexType>
  </element>
  <complexType name="departements开发者_StackOverflow社区">
    <sequence>
      <element name="department_name" type="string"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
</schema>

If yes, how do I we distinguish between departement_names? Do one of them take precedence over the other? TIA!

When you run this XSD file over XML with validation, you will get an error, as your declaration conflicts with 3.3.3 Constraints on XML Representations of Element Declarations, point 3.
