Using the <include> tag in LinearLayout

From what I understand the <include> tag is basically a copy and paste so I created a view with a couple textviews in it and I replicate that a few times

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:background="#000000">

            <include android:id="@+id/frame_one" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_two" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_three" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_four" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_five" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_six" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_seven" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_eight" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_nine" layout="@layout/frame_layout_normal"/>
            <include android:id="@+id/frame_ten" layout="@layout/frame_layout_last"/>

    </LinearLayout>

now my question is how can I change the textview text individually for each of the include tags I created?

obviously I have to get the layout's view id but not sure what to do after that?

this is all that is in the frame_layout_normal

    <TextView android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:id="@+id/frame_name"
    android:layout_width="121dip"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:textColor="#000000"
    android:layout_marginTop="2dip"
    android:background="#ffffff"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>

<TextView android:id="@+id/frame_number"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_width="121dip"
    android:layout_below="@+id/frame_name"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:textColor="#000000"
    android:layout_marginTop="2dip"
    android:background="#ffffff"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>

This should work if you wrap the contents of frame_layout_normal in a LinearLayout:

LinearLayout frameOne = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.frame_one);
TextView frameOneName = (TextView) frameOne.findViewById(R.id.frame_name);

<include> lets you set the id for the top level element, which you are already doing, so just use those ids to get your frames.
