Hi Christian, Yes ideally I was hoping for the xpointer to work but I read in previous posts that instead of a named element [element(EP15)], i could use descendent path notation [element(1/2/1/1)] and that it should work. That's not ideal but in my case, I think it will work (all the files are structured in a very similar way). https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2015-April/008607.html My problem is that the referenced document IS NOT included at all if i remove the xpointer attribute (I have the same error message). As it works on your side, I guess my baseX installation is not good. I think I'll have a look at that.
One more question : I understand that baseX "resolves" the xinclude when adding the file into the database. But later, if I change the source files (the ones I call from the main one), will the main file be changed dynamically ? or do I need to reload this main file to baseX to perform the xinclude operations again ? If answer 2, I guess I could just resolve the xinclude before loading into baseX (in a dedicated xsl) and load the result in baseX, would it make a difference ?

The error you reported is returned by Java’s default XML parser (the one from Xerces), so I guess we can’t resolve that easily unless the XPointer support is improved in a future version of Java. As you may have seen, the referenced document will be fully included if you remove the xpointer attribute, but that’s probably not what you need. Out of interest, I checked if Saxon can handle XPointer attributes. As it relies on the default parser as well, it returns the same error message as BaseX. I remember there have been previous posts on that issue; e.g here [1]. Sorry for that!
