It all depends on how your going to be processing it, XSLT, Serialization.. etc......

You could include the path, the URL, Compose the two, it is really more a matter of what the intent is ...

What does it mean: "give"?

The relationship comes from the data, not the file type. It would seem that you're making the rather large mistake of thinking an XML file is a type of database and it's not.

The "country" and "state" relationship you're talking about is not really a primary/foreign key relationship, but rather a hierarchy. This is comething you could eaily do in a single .XML file.

Unless you have some kind of key relation data in your XML files already, you're going to find this is impossible to do without adding extra data you don't really need.
