that what the document() function is for, except that not all XSL
processors implement it so far

 <xsl:template match="content">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="document({@file})"/>
 </xsl:template

oh dang you just shot yourself in the foot. go straight to jail, do
not pass go, do not collect 200 pounds. escape into DOM and XXXscript, 
and non-standard extension tags, stagger through unreadable badly
designed Microsoft web pages to find partial answers.

if you want a portable solution how about recoding the source to use
entity references instead, so that you put <!ENTITY cc SYSTEM
"article.inc"> in the DTD subset, and &cc; in the document body
