<p class='example'>

For example, declarations in style rules from imported stylesheets interact with the cascade

as if they were written literally into the stylesheet at the point of the ''@import''.

Similarly, style rules in a stylesheet imported into a scoped stylesheet

are scoped in the same way.

Any ''@import'' rules must precede all other at-rules and style rules in a style sheet

(besides ''@charset'', which must be the first thing in the style sheet if it exists),

<dt id='cascade-scope'>Scope

<dd>

A declaration can be <dfn export>scoped</dfn> to a subtree of the document

so that it only affects its <dfn export>scoping element</dfn> and that element's descendants.

For example, [[HTML5]] defines scoped <code>&lt;style&gt;</code> elements,

whose style sheets are scoped to the element's parent.

If the <a>scoping elements</a> of two declarations

have an ancestor/descendant relationship,

then for normal rules the declaration whose <a>scoping element</a> is the descendant wins,

and for important rules the declaration whose <a>scoping element</a> is the ancestor wins.

Note: In other words, for normal declarations the inner scope's declarations override,

but for ''!important'' rules <em>outer</em> scope's override.

For the purpose of this step,

all unscoped declarations are considered to be <a>scoped</a> to the root element.

Normal declarations from style attributes

are considered to be <a>scoped</a> to the element with the attribute,

whereas important declarations from style attributes

are considered to be <a>scoped</a> to the root element.

[[!CSSSTYLEATTR]]

Note: This odd handling of ''!important'' style attribute declarations

is to match the behavior defined in CSS Levels 1 and 2,

where style attributes simply have higher specificity than any other author rules. [[CSS21]]
