I would use an external processor like M4. Let's try this to still be able to edit it with SGML tools:

<![CDATA[
include(`Tutorial1.java')
]]>

then, 'm4 myfile.xml > myfile2.xml', then normal processing. But the lack of macros in SGML/XMl is a real limit here, you cannot program your own element "programsource".

May be in the stylesheet (DSSSL or XSL), as suggested?
