Hi
Suppose an included base-style treats an element a certain way, will the main style (default in this case) then ignore this element? So the base-style treatment overrides the main style? Will a continue statement in the base style then reverse this, so that the main style treatment will prevail?
What happens is exactly the same as if you took the points file in your style and appended the points file from the base-style, and the same for the other rule files. So, since the first rule that matches is used, then your definitions will be used in preference to any in the base-style. If you use continue, then it is possible that your rule will be used, and then a further rule in the base-style will be applied. Anything in the options file overrides the base-style. That's the way it is meant to work. If it doesn't then you can report it as a bug. I'll answer the multiple base-style case next, since I see you've posted again since I started this reply! ..Steve
