In Context, if I compile the component containing chapter 3, its number will start from 1. I can get correct cross references by using \usereferences (and ignore the duplicate references warning), but the numbering of the compiled component is incorrect. This is one are where I wish context had better support.
Note that latex's method is not perfect. \include starts a new page, but that way it can ensure that the materical of included file is somewhat isolated with rest of the material. Context's \component does not start a new page, which is often times useful.
for that purpose there has always been \setuphead[chapter][incrementnumber=somefilename] % whole doc file (just as there are parallel documents and such)
but i haven't used it in 10 years; maybe i pick up this feature for mkiv
I hope so, that would be really useful! (so many undocumented features... we really need to start working on that book and shake the tree...)
