alt131, thanks for another thoughful response. Just so you know, I have the 2nd edition of Keith's DOM scripting, 2011; and I was kind of puzzled that he did not elaborate a bit more on @import. But not a problem, I've worked passed it.

Your comment:

...highlights the difference between focussing on the form of the code, not the function it is supposed to perform.

...gets to the heart of the question of splitting the css into separate files. Splitting the color may have some utility, but I was just sitting here staring at the rest of it thinking, why? It's sort of like normalizing a database to the nth level for the sake of 'form' only to denormalize it for performance.

So, underneath the 'color' section I put a comment line: Layout AND Topography. Works for me. Peace.
