Apr 11 at 15:45 comment added William Thomas @FernandoMuro Thanks, I’ll have a look into applying this, was originally trying to prove it inductively on the $n$-skeleton but will try working through this direction.
Apr 11 at 14:30 comment added Fernando Muro @WilliamThomas I think that Proposition A.2 in the aforementioned book by Hatcher should solve your problem.
Apr 11 at 14:28 comment added William Thomas @FernandoMuro Thanks for the recommendation. I have checked Hatcher for this and can’t seem to find a statement related to this. However I am trying to use these basic results to get to the bottom of my issue.
Apr 11 at 14:23 comment added William Thomas @DanRamras to answer you first question the cells we attach to $X$ to get $X’$ are arbitrary and not related to $Y$ in any way, although I appreciate the way I wrote it could have seemed to imply this.

Apr 11 at 14:21 comment added Fernando Muro I recommend the first appendix of Hatcher's Algebraic Topology book for this kind of general topology issues.

Apr 11 at 14:15 comment added William Thomas Apologies for the confusion, will edit the question to make it more clear. The idea is we take $Y$ and then glue in the cells we glued to $X$ (when we made X’) to the subcomplex $X\subset Y$. Whilst doing this we ensure that the new cells glued onto $Y$ only intersect $Y$ at the points of $X\subset Y$ where we define the original gluing.
Apr 11 at 11:21 comment added Dan Ramras I don’t understand the question. Are the cells you are gluing to X already part of Y? What does “gluing in these same cells to $X\subset Y$ such that they do not intersect $Y$ outside of $X$” mean, precisely? [For those voting to close, could we please give the OP a chance to clarify what he’s asking?]
