Description

It is possible to include information from one XML file in another XML file to build a complete input file for Cyclus. This capability has been demonstrated by a few users (e.g. https://github.com/arfc/predicting-the-past/tree/master/cyclus_input) but is not intuitive and should be better documented.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked predicting-the-past/cyclus_input example and the existing Cyclus documentation to identify where XML inclusion is explained. Add a clear explanation of how to include information from one XML file in another, using the example as a reference, and verify that users can follow the documented process to build a complete input file.
