All changes were made using XMLMind XML Editor. I had the two files open in different tabs of the same instance. > Did you save the included document before switching to the > master document?

The changes were lost in the master document. One detail that I didn't give you before is this: The change to the master document was to add a new xi:included section. Then I opened that very same section in a separate tab, edited it, and then saved it. Finally, I switched back to the master document and clicked View > Redraw. Note that I had never saved the new xi:include in the master document.
