I have found xf:include very useful, and I find myself wanting to use
it frequently.  But I have run into one difficulty.

I have the impression that xf:include works in the main form,
and in XML documents included by means of xf:include, but not in
subforms.   The example at [1] illustrates what I mean:  when books.xml
is loaded as a main form, it includes (via xf:include) a paragraph
saying how many books it is displaying; when the same form is
loaded as a subform, this information does not appear.

Is this a bug or a design feature?
