Is the file implicitly included through some > other means? Sphinx wants to snarf up every .rst file it sees, regardless of whether it is explicitly made part of the document tree. So it will pick up atomic_writes.rst separately from the include. This could be "fixed" by removing the .rst extension from the included file. But, since there is no use of the atomic_writes label to begin with, it's better to just take it out. The other fix, removing a cross reference, is not entirely ideal, but there is little text between the label and the reference. jon
