RE: Overrid items that are included

The answer to your question is Yes. 

XSLT 2.0 describes this more formally, though the rules have not actually
changed. If one stylesheet module includes another, then they are part of
the same "stylesheet layer". All declarations in a stylesheet layer have the
same import precedence. An xsl:import anywhere within a stylesheet layer
gives the declarations in the imported stylesheet module, and all other
declarations in that stylesheet layer, a lower import precedence than the
declarations in the importing layer. A template rule with higher import
precedence overrides a rule with lower import precedence.
