Luiz,
I couldn't agree more.  Without TDD the other XP practices wouldn't be
possible. Take refactoring for example, without TDD refactoring becomes
extremely messy and dangerous.  Sometimes the risk is so high that a needed
refactoring is not performed or the entire module is rewritten.  With TDD
you can refactor safely and with confidence. Of course source control also
helps enable refactoring as well. 

Here is a great post on TDD detailing TDD's relationship with XP.

Enjoy!
