xsd:choice on 'unconnected' elements

Question

I have an xml that comes in two forms

<root>
     <element1 req="mandatory"/>
     <element2/>
     <element3/>
<root>

and

<root>
     <element2/>
     <element3/>
     <element4 req="mandatory"/>
<root>

element1 or elem4 is req'd 2 and 3 are optional. I just cant figure out how to use a xsd:choice on it, help, thanks.
