Thanks again for your mail Jeni. Yep - MSXML 3 supports apply-imports, but my XSL fragments are independent of each other and so only the parent sheet should know about them - they don't know about each other. So although your solution works, in my case it isn't suitable. One thing did get me thinking. Would it not be cool if the apply imports could take a parameter of the stylesheet to apply the matching to?? So, if you import 3 stylesheets, you could specify, during an apply-imports, that the 2nd should have overall precedence...etc... Anyone else thought about this? Could be i'm missing something. thanks - Steven -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jeni Tennison Sent: 28 July 2000 23:07 To: Steven Livingstone Cc: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Importing stylesheets Precedence Info Steven, >The first was interesting.

I'm glad you've got it working anyway, and I don't want to distract you from pursuing your current solution, but I think you could get it working if you: (a) rather than having all the imports occur in one stylesheet, have only one stylesheet imported at each stage (with that stylesheet importing the next stylesheet and so on) and (b) put xsl:apply-imports in all the relevant templates in the stylesheets that do some importing Of course, it's a solution that is quite a lot of hassle and may cause problems for other reasons, so I certainly won't be offended if you don't use it ;) It's not clear to me why xsl:apply-imports was designed only applies templates found in the first imported stylesheet rather than doing so in import-precedence order. Perhaps someone can shed light on this?
