Xerces-C/J don't do XLink yet. However, Xalan now has an implementation of XPath, which solves one part of this.
XLink is not expected to become a W3C Proposed Recommendation until early 2000, which means that the current public working draft (from July 1999) is likely to change. Apparantly, the W3C is apparantly still working on it. I believe that Microsoft also has a proposal for how to do this kind of inclusion.
