Problem

-- trying to import a schema containing circular schema imports :

Ex :

extract of the first schema (Canonical_Common.xsd)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:tns="http://eurofins.com/Retailer.Canonical.Common/1.0.0" xmlns:ser="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://eurofins.com/Retailer.Canonical.Common/1.0.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/"
             schemaLocation="Common_Serialization.xsd" />
  <xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays"
             schemaLocation="Common_Arrays.xsd" />
  <xs:import namespace="http://eurofins.com/Retailer.Canonical.Order/1.0.0"
             schemaLocation="Canonical_Order.xsd" />
...
...

extract of the second schema (Canonical_Order.xsd)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:tns="http://eurofins.com/Retailer.Canonical.Order/1.0.0" xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://eurofins.com/Retailer.Canonical.Order/1.0.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:import schemaLocation="Canonical_Common.xsd" namespace="http://eurofins.com/Retailer.Canonical.Common/1.0.0" />
...
...
...


-- when importing such kind of XSD (either by using the File -> Import -> Schema or by using New -> Business Document -> XSD), the Bdoc cannot be opened :

"Could not open the editor: An exception was thrown during initialization"
