when loading the scxml source document, the compiler should first check for xinclude elements. unfortunately, this might be quite a bit of work. before starting, we need to check if browser's xsl processors allow for xinclude. probably don't.

Three step3: 1. support to get one whole XML document 2. support xinclude element() feature, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-element/ to get more details 3. support xinclude pointer() feature, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xpointer/ to get more details

XInclude looks like this:

obviously, we can build xi:include as a Custom Action Class for SCXML4Flex

Find some open source ActionScript XInclude parser and merge it into SCXML4Flex is a good way, maybe it will save much time

Create a opensource project [http://code.google.com/p/xinclude4flex/ XInclude4Flex] to help SCXML4Flex support XInclude
