Ok I must be doing it the really hard way then..
I made a copy of my entire Default UI folder in another location, and if for say I am editing the mainhud_experience.xml file, I go into the mainhud.xml (in the copy of the Default UI folder) file and remove all includes but the mainhud_experience.xml call out. PLEASE NOTE: I do this in the Backup Folder and not the folder the Game uses to display the Default UI. Removing all but one call out in the mainhud.xml file in the game's Default folder would wreak all kinds of havok.
