The answer is that yes you can do that. The key is to design an InDesign Template document that matches the structure of your XML. There is an excellent article on this uploaded to the Adobe.com web site, here:

 <http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/xml_scripting.html>

Look at this article:

 <http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/pdfs/InDesign_User_Guide_XML_chapter.pdf>

My only quibble with this article is that it is so wishy-washy in the first paragraph -- if you don't understand the concepts in this article, you might as well not even try to use XML and InDesign. This article is the key to making XML and InDesign fly (particularly when using InDesign to import XML).
