template conflicts

[Linda van den Brink <lvdbrink@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all, 

I need some clarification on template conflicts. 

I have a set of XSLT stylesheets. One of them is the 'top stylesheet' ,
"all.xsl", and includes a number of other stylesheets: 
<xsl:include href="module.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="domain.xsl"/>

"all.xsl" also *imports* a stylesheet "general.xsl". 
<xsl:import href="general.xsl"/>

"general.xsl" has this template: 
<xsl:template match="p[descendant::head]">
do something
</xsl:template>

"domain.xsl" has this template: 
<xsl:template match="p[descendant::head and ancestor::domain]">
do something else
</xsl:template

I added the template to "domain.xsl" because I needed it to override the
general one in "general.xsl", but it doesn't do so. Is this correct
behaviour? I'm using XT.
