Including in the same file is dangerous: you can easily duplicate custom-id, name keywords, which are supposed to be unique. Even though we don't prevent it[fn:1], I don't think we should make it easier to achieve. Introducing a new special syntax in this case doesn't sound like a good move either. Regards, [fn:1] Actually, we should have a guard against circular inclusion, but at the moment, it is ineffective in this case. -- Nicolas Goaziou
