No necessarily.
It depends on what you're trying to do. You can go a long way
with using entities. e.g:
<!DOCTYPE book [
<!ENTITY chapter1 SYSTEM "chapter1.xml"
<!ENTITY chapter2 SYSTEM "chapter2.xml"
<!ENTITY chapter3 SYSTEM "chapter3.xml"
]>
<book>
&chapter1;
&chapter2;
&chapter3;
</book>
While you're correct that XInclude appears to be the correct
way forward (barring some recent concerns [1]), and offers
richer semantics that simple entities.
However you'll need an Xinclude processor [2] to use them, while
any off-the-shelf XML parser will do entities.

[2]. http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/XInclude/ (although this relies on JDOM)
