Neither of your two .xsl files is a valid stylesheet.
I don't think xsl:include or xsl:import is likely to be part of the solution to your problem. It would be better to describe what you are trying to do.
I'd suggest the following:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para/note">
<test>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</test>
</xsl:template>
This follows a standard design pattern for transformations of the form "copy everything except XYZ": you write one template rule for "everything" that does a (recursive) copy, and another for XYZ that does something different.
