It won't help.
You need to process your xIncludes prior to further processing.
I might call it a 'pre-processing' step? Almost part of the parser.


I use ant with the step

 <target name="xinclude" >
    <echo>Expand Xincludes </echo>
    <exec executable="/usr/bin/xmllint" failonerror='true'>
      <arg value="-o"/>
      <arg value="tmp.xml"/>
      <arg value="--xinclude"/>
      <arg value="${main.infile}"/>
    </exec>
  </target>

or from the command line
$xmllint -o tmp.xml --xinclude Yourfile.xml
