%X Stochastic maximum principle of nonlinear controlled forward-backward systems, where the set of strict (classical) controls need not be convex and the diffusion coefficient depends explicitly on the variable control, is an open problem impossible to solve by the classical method of spike variation. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to solve this open problem and we establish necessary as well as sufficient conditions of optimality, in the form of global stochastic maximum principle, for two models. The first concerns the relaxed controls, who are a measure-valued processes. The second is a restriction of the first to strict control problems.
