Question : Difference between Include and Import in context to XML schema

?
Answer : The fundamental difference between include and import is that
you must use import to refer to declarations or definitions that are in
a different target namespace and you must use include to refer to
declarations or definitions that are (or will be) in the same target namespace.

Question : What is targetNamespace's function?

Answer :
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/SchemaXML
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/name"
xmlns:target="http://www.example.com/name">
The targetNamespace declares a namespace for other xml and xsd
documents to refer to this schema. The target prefix in this case refers to the
same namespace and you would use it within this schema definition to
reference other elements, attributes, types, etc. also defined in this same
schema definition.
