At least I haven't seen it.

Agreed.

And agreed again 8-).

What you are talking about might fit better into a concept where one
project might depend on a target defined in another project - the
keywords here are workspace and DAG when looking into the requirements
list for Ant2 or searching the archives for some threads dating back
to the end of last year.

Expect a new discussion on this topic in a few weeks.

It's the builtin way of including something in SGML. 

It has some drawbacks - and being ugly is a minor one. It doesn't mix
with XSchema for example - <xsl:include> might be an option but would
require an XSLT processor. A homemade include mechanism would be
possible of course, but it wouldn't have the charm of a standard
compliant solution.
