The href is a normal URI so if it starts with / it is still a relative
URI and it will be taken from the root of the base URI of the current
stylesheet that contains the xsl:include statement. If this was loaded
from the filesystem then the href URI willbe taken relative to that. If
the current stylesheet has been loaded from an http address the same will
be true of the included stylesheet.

You can always (subject to any permission settings on your local setup)
use a full absolute URI http://a/b/c.xsl to load the included file from
anywhere on the internet.

If you start with ../ then of it starts in the parent directory of the
current stylesheet rather than the directory in which the stylesheet is
located, but yes any relative path such as href="zzz.xsl" will be
resolved relative to the base URI of the current stylesheet.
