normally this won't work. You create a Result Tree Fragment in $colours and have to convert it to a node set using node-set() extension function. This is not possible when using XSLTC.
Or you do something like document('')/*/xsl:variable[@name='colours']/colour[@id=$colour], but this is not possible while including the constants.xslt.

You may find, if you re-encode your lookup table as XSLT variables, that you can 'include' your data as XSLT into your stylesheet.
eg.
constants.xslt:
<xsl:variable name="colours">
<colour id="white">#fff</colour>
<colour id="black">#000</colour>
<colour id="grey">#888</colour>
</xsl:variable>
main.xslt:
<xsl:include src="constants.xslt"/>
......
<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:variable name="colour" select="@colour"/>
<bar>
<xsl:attribute name="colour">
<xsl:value-of select="$colours[@id=$colour]"/>
<!-- or is it: <xsl:value-of select="$colours/colours[@id=$colour]"/> -->
</xsl:attribute>
</bar>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps
