Can tags be duplicated?

My xml file has the tags in the below format.
say :
<country>
<city>
<st>
<no>5</no>
</st>
</city>
<village>
<st>
<no>4</no>
</st>
</village>
</country>
Can the tag <st> be present within 2 different parents?
If yes, how do I differentiate <st> in each case?
Regards

Yes, of course.

Do you want to write a schema for that XML? Or do you want to query the XML?

Here is an example schema that inlines the element definitions:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0">
<xs:element name="country">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="city">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="st">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="no" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="village">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="st">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="no" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Another solution would be to define a complexType and reference that as
follows:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0">
<xs:complexType name="typeName">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="st">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="no" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="country">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="city" type="typeName"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="village" type="typeName"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

<st>
<no>5</no>

Can the tag <st> be present within 2 different parents?
If yes, how do I differentiate <st> in each case?
