Hi,

I'm writing docs in quickbook and stumbled upon a problem. I have this 
document structure:

   main.qbk
     [include a.qbk]
     [include b.qbk]
     [include c.qbk]
     [include x.qbk]
     [include y.qbk]
     [include z.qbk]
     [xinclude r.xml]

In files a, b and c I define macros that would unfold into headerref, 
classref, etc. for the items described in the auto-generated r.xml 
Reference. I want to use these macros in x, y and z, both in text and 
code samples.

The problem is that, it seems, quickbook doesn't unfold these macros in 
x, y and z. My guess is that the scope of the macros is limited to the 
files they are defined in. Is that true?

I tried to do the same with templates. It seems that templates are 
visible in x, y and z, but still are not unfolded in code samples. Is 
there a way around this problem?

Thanks.
