Xml schema - define child elements 0-* in any order

Question

I want to define a xml schema where the element Connectors have 0-* child elements. Either Sequence, Association or Message in any order and 0 to many times. I.e.

<Connectors>
    <Sequence />
    <Association />
    <Message />
    <Sequence />
    <Sequence />
    <Message />
    <Message />
    <Association />
</Connectors>

I tried to define the following schema but it seems like the order is fixed.

<xs:element name="Connectors">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element ref="Association" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
            <xs:element ref="Message" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
            <xs:element ref="Sequence" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Answer 1

I solved it by setting to choice and setting minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes.

<xs:element name="Connectors">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
            <xs:element ref="Association" />
            <xs:element ref="Message" />
            <xs:element ref="Sequence" />
        </xs:choice>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
