Yes, as I expected. You should not load the definition manually. There is a
manager that does the loading for you. It knows how to properly "nest" the
highlighters. See this code:

http://code.google.com/p/qtedit4/source/browse/tools/qtsourceview/demos/demo6/demo6.cpp#89

The base of those files is called a "context". A context can be inside that
XML, or be loaded from a second XML. This is actually done in
HighlightDefinitionHandler::processIncludeRules() (this is the classs that
loads the deinitions from the XML files)
