If you are sure, your files are valid, you have to use an option in your 
XML parser to resolves XInclude elements through the referenced file.

For example, xmllint from the libxml2 library has the option --xinclude. 
In your case, to get a file all.xml where all XIncludes are resolved, 
write:

 $ xmllint --output all.xml --xinclude Chapter.xml

Validate the file all.xml with jing, for example.

On the other hand, you need to use the same option to resolve the XInclude 
in the transformation process. For example, xsltproc from the libxslt 
library has also an option --xinclude:

 $ xsltproc --output Chapter.html --xinclude \
            .../html/docbook.xsl Chapter.xml

It works for me with the previous command.
