I have used schemas multiple times to represent hierarchies, most recently in 
the zf.zscp work, where I parse XML files using a schema or a set thereof. 
You simply use the Object field to connect a sub-schema to a schema. I have 
also used hierarchical schema trees in the principal settings code, where you 
hook in dynamically new schemas.
