It's helpful to give examples of valid and invalid input, especially if you
use non-standard terminology like "point to" and "reference point".

It might be possible to achieve this requirement using key and keyref,
something like this:

<xs:key name="k1">
  <xs:selector xpath="@att1"/>
  <xs:field xpath="."/>
</xs:key>

<xs:key name="k2" refer="k1">
  <xs:selector xpath="@att2"/>
  <xs:field xpath="."/>
</xs:key>
