It has more than a notion of includes, there's a whole spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/

We use this all the time in BoostBook xml docs -- example from the date_time
docs...

   <xi:include href="conceptual.xml"/> 
   <xi:include href="usage_examples.xml"/> 
   <xi:include href="gregorian.xml"/> 
   ....
