Hi Robert,
I didn't mean to be quite so dismissive. But you may like to consider
this technique for viewing coding results in several real browsers every
time you press "save":

Some use @imported style sheets to feed advanced CSS rules to modern
browsers while hiding from version 4 NS and IE, and earlier. That might 
be considered a plus. No other issues as far as I know, except for the
situation you noted that an @import within an @import within ... fails
on reaching the fourth nested @import.

Of course, you can @import from the top of a linked style sheet
as well. Linking and @importing can thus work together.

Hope this helps.

Cordially,
David
