No, validation is separate from XInclude. You can validate if you 
want to or not. You can validate before or after inclusion or both or 
neither. It helps to think of your system as a chain of black boxes 
applied in sequence where the individual boxes for validation, 
inclusion, etc. can be swapped or reordered or duplicated rather than 
as a single black box which does everything at once.
