Precedence of template rules on xsl:import

xslt template precedence
Hi

I'm constructing a stylesheet that imports some other stylesheets (and also takes some params).  When I apply the stylesheet to the document the button template in the button.xslt will always be applied for all buttons in the application document regardless if they are a child of the toolbar or not. If I change the order of the imports in the main stylesheet then it works as expected. But there is a but here, namely that the main stylesheet will be generated from a config file so I want that the order of the imports shouldn't matter. Is it possible to accomplish or do I have to impose some order in the config files and/or in the stylesheet generator?  

I guess I could change the match attribute in the button template to "button[not(parent::toolbar or parent::group/parent::toolbar)]" but that's kind of ugly (I think) and I must also exclude all other possible button variations as well so this approach could get really tedious if I want many ways to use the button element.

regards,

/Marcus

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:import href="../../gui/xslt/toolbar.xslt"/>
    <xsl:import href="../../gui/xslt/button.xslt"/>        
.
.
.
</xsl:stylesheet>

The imported stylesheets has the following template structure:
-- toolbar.xslt --
   <xsl:template match="toolbar">
    ...
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="toolbar/group">
    ...
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="button[parent::toolbar or parent::group/parent::toolbar]">
    ...
   </xsl:template>

-- button.xslt --
<xsl:template match="button">
    ...
 </xsl:template>

It's applied to a document with the following example structure:
<application ...>
  <toolbar>
    <button .../>
    <button .../>
    ...
  </toolbar>
  <content>
    <button .../>
  </content>
</application>
