I have nested includes in the HTMLMacros processor.  

You need an Include object that keeps track of the mother file and
where you were in it, or simply do it with recursive calls with that
info tracked in local variables. 

What syntax?  I have never heard of anything part of the XML protocol.
If you want to be able to include in the middle of a field you will
need something that won't be confused with data.
You could do it with something that looked a bit like real XML

e.g.

<include "file.txt" /> (which can even appear in the middle of a field
or between XML tags. The embedded text need not contain balanced tags.

You might want to decorate it a bit to avoid conflicting with real xml
e.g.
<@include "file.txt" /> 

You might want to make it look more like real XML, e.g.

<include file="file.txt />
or 
<@include>file.txt</@include>

You might to make it look like perfectly legit XML so the XML parser
will find and parse the commands for you.  Otherwise you will have to
look ahead yourself or preprocess the file to create the complet file
before feeding it to the XML processor.

Capitalism has spurred the competition that makes CPUs faster and 
faster each year, but the focus on money makes software manufacturers 
do some peculiar things like deliberately leaving bugs and deficiencies
in the software so they can soak the customers for upgrades later.
Whether software is easy to use, or never loses data, when the company
has a near monopoly, is almost irrelevant to profits, and therefore 
ignored. The manufacturer focuses on cheap gimicks like dancing paper 
clips to dazzle naive first-time buyers. The needs of existing 
experienced users are almost irrelevant. I see software rental as the 
best remedy.
