xsl dynamic import
I think you are looking at it from the wrong direction.

If the "cancer-90" include is the only thing that changes, then when you
perform the transform you should call the unique "cancer-90" xsl.  Each of
these unique XSLs would include all the common templates.

You can create a wrapper for a site that includes the top, left, right and
bottom sections of the page. Then create a unique XSL for each unique page
layout. Each of these xsl:includes the wrapper (itself xsl:including things
like: topnav.xsl, header.xsl, leftnav.xsl, footer.xsl, etc).
