As a test, I used the SPL's RunTimeException. <xi:include xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook) xpointer(id('class.exception')/descendant::db:fieldsynopsis)" /> works, but it includes the private properties. How can I extend that to exclude <modifier>private</modifier> I've tried ... <xi:include xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook) xpointer(id('class.exception')/descendant::db:fieldsynopsis[modifier!='private'])" /> I also see that the private methods are inherited. Clearly not right as you cannot call the base class's private method in a sub-class. Richard. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
