* By following the procedure 1.2.3. you describe, I cannot reproduce the 
problem using XXE v5.1 and our WebDAV plug-in talking to Apache 
httpd+mod_dav. Note that we have really used 2 different users and 2 
different machines during our test.

* We do not see how what you describe could be technically possible 
using XXE out of the box.

* We, XMLmind, do not provide any support for Bluestream XDocs. We are 
not affiliated to Bluestream. We never refer to Bluestream XDocs 
anywhere in our Web site.

* Unless you explain us how to reproduce this problem using XXE v5.2[*] 
alone or with any add-ons developed by XMLmind, please do not bother 
sending further support requests to the mailing list. This policy is 
clearly stated here:

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/support.html#xmleditor_support_policy

Besides, you are not a direct customer of XMLmind. (You are probably 
using the XXE bundled with Bluestream XDocs.) Therefore we have no 
obligation to provide you with support of any kind.

[*] Notice v5.2. We'll not accept a bug report for v5.1. You are 
supposed to test the latest release.

Note that v5.2 adds a workaround a Java bug which *may* explain the 
problem you have. However this is unlikely as we were not able to 
reproduce your issue with v5.1.

PS:

What follows can happen but is not a bug and we won't fix it:

1. User 1 opens a docbook XML document containing one or more xincludes.
The xinclude content is displayed in the document.

2. User 1 opens the content of one of the xincludes but forgets about it.

3. User 2 opens the content of the same xinclude on another computer,
edits it, and checks it in.

4. User 1 uses CTRL-SHIFT-E to switch the xinclude for editing. It's 
indeed the outdated xinclude.

Why not a bug? Well, 1.2.3.4. cannot happen when file locking is 
enabled. At step 3. User 2 is warned that the xinclude is locked by User 
1 and that she/he cannot edit it.

What local cache? XXE does not open documents previously stored in a 
local cache.

There is no difference between CRTL-SHIFT-E and File|Open other than 
CRTL-SHIFT-E does not show a file chooser dialog box.
