Not by definition, no. You can validate a document that uses XIncludes 
before or after the includes are resolved. Which to do is up to the 
user. None of the specs require this to be done in any particular order, 
regardless of schema language. Doing it with DTDs, post-XInclude may 
require a reparse, though.
