It makes sense to me, that the WORKING_TEMPLATE should be able to override
any included template rules by the BASE_TEMPLATE since the inclusion is not
happening directly by the WORKING_TEMPLATE.
I think of the included template as a means to modularize my templates. The
template rules I intend to place into an include template will never be
overridden by my BASE_TEMPLATE since they are the BASE_TEMPLATE (if that
makes sense). However, I will import the BASE_TEMPLATE and just want to
insure that I will be able to override those template rules which have been
included by the BASE_TEMPLATE.

Subject: [xsl] Overrid items that are included
Hello,
If I have a base template that I import into the current working template,
if that base template file *includes* other templates, can those included
templates be overridden just as if they were originally part of the base
template file?
Let me illustrate:
incl_template_a.xsl
incl_template_b.xsl
BASE_TEMPLATE.xsl
INCLUDES--> incl_template_a.xsl
INCLUDES--> incl_template_a.xsl
WORKING_TEMPLATE.xsl
IMPORTS--> BASE_TEMPLATE.xsl
The question: Is it possible to override template rules in
incl_template_a
& _b within WORKING_TEMPLATE.xsl?
Karl
I may well be wrong but if you include files and then override a template,
by writing a new one with the same match and mode then the processor can
either use the latter one or error so it's not a reliable method. If you
xsl:import then the base stylesheet module has priority so you can now write
override templates in a similar fashion to your post.
