To be a little bit more detailed:
I think you probably try to include "in the wrong direction"

Your master stylesheet doesn't have to include something, but
will be included by others.
Instead of using <xsl:include> or <xsl:insert> you have to use 
e.g. <xsl:call template name="menu"/>

This template may be defined in different versions in other
stylesheets, each of them includes your master stylesheet,
which in turn calls the "right" (specific) named template at the 
appropriate position. 
Accordingly you may define global variables with different values
in the specific stylesheets and use these variables in the master 
stylesheet.

Does this solve your problem?

Regards,
Oliver
