Only in so far as the XML libraries might support it.

For example:

xi:include may potentially cause security issues when processing XML.

If you want to do hypermedia, which is a very important aspect, then
yes.

I think you may be deciding what to include in a representation that
is information available in other related resources e.g. container/
item. A container representation would list a sub-set of the item
resources links each of each contains a sub-set of the representation
returned from the item resources.
