Thanks for the Help anyone

and here is the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/bg"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <include
        android:id="@+id/include1"
        android:layout_width="160dp"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="15dp"

What is the filename of your XML file?

    <include
    android:id="@+id/include1"
    android:layout_width="160dp"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="280dp"
    layout="@layout/main" />

includes the layout main. If this is in this file main.xml, that is your problem. If it's not, can you post your onCreate method so we can see how you are inflating this view?

this is a problem because the <include/> tag will inflate a layout into the current layout. If you are trying to inflate @layout/main into @layout/main, this will cause infinite recursion and is not valid. I am not sure what you are trying to do, are you trying to draw the same layout twice? If so, try creating a main_component.xml layout, and using <include/> in main.xml to inflate that layout.
