Thanks, I suspected it'd be something like that.

Sorry, left out one of the descriptors.

So where we had:
--------------------------------------------------------
<xsd:element name="name" type="nameType"/>
   <xsd:element name="title" type="mods:baseTitleInfoType"/>
   <xsd:element name="nameTitle" type="nameTitleType"/>
   <xsd:element name="topic"/>
   <xsd:element name="temporal" type="mods:dateType"/>
   <xsd:element name="genre"/>
   <xsd:element name="geographic"/>
   <xsd:element name="hierarchicalGeographic"
type="mods:hierarchicalGeographicType"/>
   <xsd:element name="occupation"/>
-------------------------------------------------------------
Add  (after third line):
<xsd:element name="subject" type="subjectType"/>
(Or, rather than after the third line, probably re-order the list.)

And the datatype:
...........
<xsd:complexType name="subjectType">
   <xsd:choice minOccurs='1' maxOccurs="unbounded">
   <xsd:element name="topic"/>
   <xsd:element name="temporal" type="mods:dateType"/>
   <xsd:element name="geographic"/>
   </xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType>

Does this help?

Thanks.
