I tried to compile your sample schemas without the --custom-type
options and then compiled the generated C++ code and everything
works fine. zConfig-base.hxx is included in zConfig.hxx indirectly
via SimpleParam.hxx.

When you add the "--custom-type configParam_t=/configParam_base"
option, the XSD compiler generates only a forward declaration for
configParam_t and if this type is not defined by you later, you
will get the error when trying to inherit from this type (you
cannot inherit from a forward-declared class). I suspect that
something is not right in configParam-custom.hxx. Feel free to
send its contents if you cannot spot the problem yourself.
