  I don't understand why you duplicate information in all the stylesheets
imports. Using entities sounds worse than using includes because you won't
even share the document tree...
  If you need a functionality from a generated stylesheet, import it, period.
I don't understand at all why you think it's needed to replicate it multiple
time in your import tree. I probably do not understand the problem fully,
and problably can't, but it sounds to me you have a design problem.
