Why do the xi:include lookups 'fail' in command line XSLT processing?

I generally use Oxygen to test my single-file transformations XML -> HTML. (The XML files use the TEI schema.) I use a lot of xi:includes to reference lists of people <listPerson/> and places <listPlace/> in my markup using @xml:id.

I do the lookups in the xi:include using the @xml:id in a key like this:

<xsl:key name="persnymRef" match="tei:listPerson/tei:person" use="@xml:id"/>

Using code like this:

<xsl:value-of select = "key('persnymRef',$get_persNam)/tei:persName,' ')"/>

So, @xml:id="petrus_fabri_PAR" returns the value Peire Faure, Paris from the file <xi:include href="people.xml">. The xml file is in the same directory as the other files.

When I use Oxygen to do the transformation, everything outputs fine.

But I am now testing command line processing using Saxon and any lookup depending on an xl:include fails (ie. outputs nothing for the xml:id lookup) - the rest of the XSLT file processing works fine.

Why do the xi:include lookups 'fail' in command line?

Is there a special consideration for using xi:include in command line processing of XML using XSLT?

I think you have to turn the xi:include processing explicitly on in Saxon. Maybe this page will help you: https://www.saxonica.com/documentation9.5/sourcedocs/XInclude.html
