The problem is that when there are several templates with the same name (or
match) only the one with highest import precedence is considered. So if you
have
template "name" in stylesheet 1
template "name" in stylesheet 2
and stylesheet 1 imports stylesheet 2
the <xsl:call-template name="name"/> will only call the "name" template in
stylesheet 1 because it has a higher import precedence.

I do not think there is a way to call only the templates which present in
the _same_ stylesheet (and still allow them to be called from the outside).
But I think maybe xsl:apply-imports will do the job?
You will have to change from named templates to modes maybe.

I also suppose that you do not actually need this - could you clarify the
problem you need to solve?

Bye.
