I know that one technique is to include some css files on main one with @import.
Isn't this a bad practice? Because with @import browser still makes the request, and if the main is blank then you could endup with n+1 requests.

It's a good practice because if ALL the files on your site use the same CSS files, then they will only be downloaded once for the entire site, and even for several visits to the site (caching).

Importing from one of your own stylesheets is fine, but kind of useless as you can just include the other stylesheet in the same web page. Importing from somewhere else, like another website, is a bad idea as that stylesheet may change, thus changing your website along with it.
