Since dask dataframes do not support multi-indexes the current code does not detect when a multi-index is referenced. The only way of checking whether the multi-index exists is to speculatively reset the index (which is almost free when using dask) and check whether the columns exist on the reindexed dataframe. This code now resets the index and uses the reindexed dataframe if the columns are present there (otherwise the validation code will complain about missing columns as before).
