Then you need simple identity transformation which will remove section
with duplicate title, something like:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section[title = ../title][preceding-sibling::section]">
  <xsl:apply-template select="node()[not(self::title)]"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Depending on whether you want to keep XIncludes you need to switch
on/off XInclude in parser used by XSLT processor.
