The CSS syntax says that any @import rules must appear at the
very beginning of a style sheet, before any other rules.  
See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#at-import .

The stitching above combines .css files into a single style sheet,
so if layout-abpos-sb28pct.css has any non- at import rules in it
then layout-abpos-leftsb.css cannot have any @import rules.

Does this help?
