Hi Olivier,

-download RefleX and unzip
java -jar reflex-0.4.0.jar run inclusion.xcl

-inclusion.xcl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xcl:active-sheet xmlns:xcl="http://ns.inria.org/active-tags/xcl";>
     <!--get an XInclude filter-->
     <xcl:parse-filter name="xinclude" 
source="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
     <!--connect a pipeline-->
     <xcl:parse name="input" source="in.xml" style="stream"/>
     <xcl:filter name="included" source="{ $input }" filter="{ $xinclude 
}"/>
     <!--transform SAX to XML-->
     <xcl:transform source="{ $included }" output="out.xml"/>
</xcl:active-sheet>
-An XInclude filter is just a special filter; you can also use other 
filters with <xcl:parse-filter> as explained here:
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tutorial-pipelinesAndFilters.html

-in.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";>
     <xi:include href="alternate.xml" parse="xml" 
xpointer="xpointer(/inside/insideItr/text())"/>
</root>

-alternalte.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<inside>
  <insideItr>waza</insideItr>
</inside>

-out.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; 
xml:base="file:///path/to/in.xml">
     waza
</root>
