Not directly. You can
- modify the stylesheet before use (e.g. by using another XSLT stylesheet)
- or use a URL in the <xsl:include> that refers to dynamically-generated
content, e.g. a servlet.

Some products may allow you to supply a URI resolver that interprets the URI
dynamically, but this is outside the scope of the standard.

You can write the variable part of the xsl:include statement as an XML
entity reference, though this only shifts the problem. However, there may
then be facilities in the XML parser to control how entity references are
resolved.
