As has been said several times in the last week, xsl:include is a
compile time facility. You can't modify the source text of a stylesheet
at run-time, any more than a Java or C program can modify its own source
text.

If you need to build parameterized stylesheets, you can do it, by virtue
of the fact that XSLT is written in XML: write a transformation that
outputs the stylesheet you want. But this is a build-time (or
pre-processor) operation, not something that the stylesheet can do in
the middle of being executed.
