Wendell,
Thanks for the tip. I got a similar tip after I incorrectly posted an
XSL question to the XSL-FO list. A fellow there, Mario Madunic, was
kind enough to offer this information and gently coax me to post in
the right forum. I've since followed your and his advice, and it's
working reasonably well for me.
Appreciate the assistance,
Tim

Ah HA!
I have it several levels down, which is undoubtedly the problem:
<xsl:stylesheet>...
<xsl:template>...
<xsl:if>...
<xsl:include>...
It must be a child, and not a descendant, apparently. Thank you.
Is there a way to package and include templates at a level lower than
child-of-stylesheet-or-transform?
No, the file you include must itself be a stylesheet (i.e. have an
xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform root element).
This is what the XSLT 1.0 specification says about xsl:include:
"The inclusion works at the XML tree level. The resource located by the
href attribute value is parsed as an XML document, and the children of the
xsl:stylesheet element in this document replace the xsl:include element in
the including document. The fact that template rules or definitions are
included does not affect the way they are processed."
You could, however, encapsulate the logic you want in a named template, and
call that where you've placed your xsl:include.
You can then put that template in the included module. Not hard, really.
This is not a conditional include. It is just a conditional call to
something that happens to be included (which is usually just as good).
Cheers,
Wendell
