An xsl:include element exists:
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_include.asp
NOTE: it must exist only as a child of xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform. In other words, it must appear just below the root xsl:stylesheet element.
There is also xsl:import which is similar. I recommend picking up an XSL or XML book that explains how to use such things. You can also search google.com (like I did for this post), for more information and tutorials.

p.s. Please make sure you post to the right place. fop-dev is where FOP Development is discussed. fop-user *might* be OK for this type of question, but xsl-list is the best. You can find out more about where to post questions on this page (in the links on the left):

Hi, We are creating a PDF by applying the XSL to the data (XML). We are using several XSLs which present the data in different formats. There is some content which is common for all these XSLs. Can I do something similar to what is achievable via an include directive in HTML. Thus, I would not have to hard-code the common content in each XSL, but it could lie in a common include file and all these XSL's would include it before sending it to the FO PDF renderer.I would appreciate any help.
