This filter was a little crude in XXE v3 and may be you already had problems with it. It has been much improved in XXE v4. However it is still not 100% perfect. > However, if you include variables from more than one external file and > some of the variables in these files happen to have the same ID, then > these validation errors are not filtered out.

Our intend is just to filter false duplicate ID errors due to the use of inclusions, and not to filter actual duplicate ID errors.
