Cascading xincludes

Does this work?  That is

file1.xml
<Item-one>
   <xinclude:include parse="xml" href="file2.xml">
</Item-one>

file2.xml
<Item-two>
   <xinclude:include parse="xml" href="file3.xml">
</Item-two>

file3.xml
<Item-three>Some stuff</Item-three>

would result in

<item-one>
   <item-two>
      <item-three>some stuff</Item-three>
   </item-two>
</item-one>

It doesn't appear to for me.

it sure doesn't. it oughta be relatively simple to modify xinclude
processor to do so, though - checking for circular references may be
tricky, i dunno. anyway, patches are welcome, but be sure you're working
from the latest cvs.

(i'm a busy guy and only really get a chance to work on cocoon in spurts.)
