I've got five stylesheets, where test.xsl imports A.xsl and B.xsl, A.xsl imports C1.xsl, and B.xsl imports C2.xsl. C1.xsl and C2.xsl is in the same namespace, and defining the same function (i.e. C2.xsl is a newer version of C1.xsl). Now, I wouldn't think that this would cause a problem, as C1.xsl and C2.xsl is not imported directly into the same stylesheet. test.xsl only makes use of C1.xsl and C2.xsl indirectly via A.xsl and B.xsl, not knowing that there are multiple versions of C (or that A.xsl and B.xsl uses C for that matter.) Yes, by definition. There is only *one* collection of top-level names when all of the importation and including is done. I guess there's something I've missed about xsl:import and namespaces All top-level names can be qualified with a namespace URI. At the time of executing an instruction, there is a single set of names of top-level constructs. Which top-level construct can be seen is based on the instruction ... for example, <xsl:apply-templates/> will see one of every top-level construct name considering every tree in the import chain. When using <xsl:apply-imports/> the instruction will see one of every top-level construct name considering every tree in only imported stylesheets and their imports. You are using function calls and function calls are resolved across the entire importation tree, not just a subset. So, the function call with the highest importance in the entire tree is going to be the one that is always called. Latter imports in a stylesheet confer higher importance on imported stylesheet constructs than earlier imports. In the spec this concept of importance is referred to officially as the "import precedence". I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . .
