Some good news, I managed to get the include working when adding the files (either the minimized ones or my own files) using a command line or the basexGUI.
Unfortunately, i still have the error message when using the web interface (which is the only one I was using initially) and cannot figure out why.

With the ZIP distribution, all libraries should be correctly added to the classpath. But I guess that won't solve your xinclude issue. Maybe you can find out more by comparing my minimized example with your setup.

Do you still get the same error for that one? doc.xml: <main xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <xi:include href="include.xml"/> </main> include.xml: <include/> Query: > basex "doc('doc.xml')" <main xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <included xml:base="include.xml"/> </main> Ideally, the include should work no matter if fn:doc is called or if a new database is created (at least with OpenJDK). > One more question : I understand that baseX "resolves" the xinclude when > adding the file into the database.

You’ll need to reload the file.

Absolutely. Or you can do everything in XQuery. Here’s one quick’n’dirty solution to achieve that: declare namespace xi = 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude'; declare option db:xinclude 'false'; let $doc := doc('EV.xml') update { for $inc in .//xi:include let $id := replace($inc/@xpointer, '.*\(|\)', '') let $included-doc := doc($inc/@href) return replace node $inc with id($id, $included-doc) } return ( $doc (: write to database... db:create('db', $doc, 'doc.xml') :) (: write back to file... file:write('doc.xml', $doc) :) ) If you want to work with documents in the database, the doc() calls can e.g. be replaced with db:open('db', 'doc.xml') calls.
