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?

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.
