Not really. The reason @import was used so heavily in the early 00's was because NN4x's interpretation of CSS was so horrible. So if you wanted NN4 to see a stylesheet, you'd link it. If you didn't, you'd @import it. You'd split your styles up accordingly.* Now it seems like @import used inside other stylesheets. More on @import from CSS-d circa 2005 http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/54300 "You can't put CSS links in CSS /files/ obviously. For example, if you have ten XHTML files which reference on CSS file, it's quite cumbersome to add CSS links to all those files, compared to one @import rule in the CSS file. It can also be put in the opposite direction: if you have an additional CSS file you want only in /one/ of the ten XHTML files you can't put an @import in the CSS since then it will appear in all ten files."
