Stylesheets that you reference with xsl:import have a lower "import precedence" than the importing stylesheet, whereas stylesheets you reference with xsl:include are almost completely treated as if you'd copied the referenced file and pasted it into your stylesheet at that point. For example, if you had template in both the main and the referenced stylesheet with the same match pattern. With xsl:import, you wouldn't get a conflict because the main stylesheet has higher "import precedence" (plus there's rules about import precedence of multiple imported stylesheets). With xsl:include, you would get an error because the template in the referenced stylesheet is treated as if it were in the main stylesheet, and two templates matching the same pattern will cause an error.
