In this case a simple <merge>foo.xml</merge> would do. But introducing a global keyword that is executed at XML load time is a bit problematic. It should probably be different from other tags ... <_MERGE_> or something.Yes, ugly. :-/ The advantage is that it can be placed everywhere in a file. > Also keep in mind that the xml parser will not accept the following > <PropertyList include="foo" include="bar"> The question here is: is this valid XML? Or should the last attribute always override all former of the same name? Would be cleaner than the previous method, but less flexible: one could only prepend the loaded contents. > PS, Melchior just suggested an <import> element which would include a > file's contents at that particular spot.

Of course it would have to contain the <PropertyList> tags. But the rest could be read in as is. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
