Chapter 2 XML Model Basics
XML objects do not support standard link objects. To link a child object to a parent object, you must click the child object tool in the palette and then click the symbol of the parent object in the diagram. This will automatically create a link between both objects. See the following table for allowed links:

Caution
A group particle (sequence, choice, all) cannot be created from scratch in a diagram.
It must be the child element of an element, a group or a complex type.
For more information, see sections How to link a child object to an element, How to link a child object to a group particle, How to link a child object to a group of elements, How to link a child object to a complex type, in chapter Building an XML model.
