I may well be wrong but if you include files and then override a template, 
by writing a new one with the same match and mode then the processor can 
either use the latter one or error so it's not a reliable method. If you 
xsl:import then the base stylesheet module has priority so you can now write 
override templates in a similar fashion to your post.
