I, personally have never used include when creating a site map but I wouldn't see it as a problem as long as you are using valid xml elements.

You can create your xml using some of the php classes for it and just defining your content type like: header ("Content-type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8"); and from there you can instantiate your xml classes if you chose or do it all by hand
