This xsl:number instruction numbers the <section> element inside the
current document.
  - For your first <section> node, you get the number 1.
  - Then, with your <include> node, you use the document() function and
you are changing your current document. In this new document, your <section=
>
node is the first one so you get the number 1.
  - Then, you're coming back to your first document (that is again your
current document) and in this document, the next <section> node is the
second one so you get number 2.

The only way I see is either using a processor that implements the
xinclude behaviour (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/ ) or transforming
your xml in two steps (first one for processing <include> elements and
second one for turning the XML to HTML).
