xsltproc currently does not enable XInclude, and has no switch for
doing so.  Personally, I don't think I would like to have a flag
which enables XInclude for both the xsl and the xml input files -
what about when you want to use a stylsheet (which has XIncludes) to
transform the xincludes within the xml file?  2 switches?

If your major concern is to have XIncludes within the stylesheet,
note that you can use xmllint to do the "including" and "pipe" the
output to xsltproc, e.g.
  xmllint --xinclude mystylesheet.xsl | xsltproc - myfile.xml
