Hi Alexander,

[I've CC'ed xsd-users to my reply since other might run into a similar
 issue.]

Ok, I've figured out what the problem is. Starting with 4.0.0, XSD now
always uses canonical paths on each platform. That is, on POSIX it
will be /foo/bar while on Windows it will be c:\foo\bar. Specifically,
on Windows the path will always use back-slashes (\) even if you 
specified (some) of them using forward slashes.

So the first change that I've made to your options file is to match
both kind of slashes:

--include-regex %.*[\\/]schemas[\\/](.+)%Jade/OpenGIS/$1%
--include-regex %.*Common[\\/](.+)%Jade/OpenGIS/Common/$1%

This only fixed the problem partially. Now the include directive
looks like this (note the wrong last slash):

#include <Jade/OpenGIS/xml\xml.h>

Unfortunately there is no elegant way to fix this last slash other
than by splitting the path into components and then re-assembling
it with the correct slashes. I checked and in your case you can
have maximum there components after schemas/ so we need three
options (note that the order is important):

--include-regex %.*[\\/]schemas[\\/](.+)%Jade/OpenGIS/$1%                                                                                                 
--include-regex %.*[\\/]schemas[\\/](.+)[\\/](.+)%Jade/OpenGIS/$1/$2%                                                                                     
--include-regex %.*[\\/]schemas[\\/](.+)[\\/](.+)[\\/](.+)%Jade/OpenGIS/$1/$2/$3%                                                                         
--include-regex %.*Common[\\/](.+)%Jade/OpenGIS/Common/$1%

With this fix I get the correct include directive:

#include <Jade/OpenGIS/xml/xml.h>
