I dont know if this is appropriate or how late I came into this
discussion but I publish a web thats a few directories deep and I simply
have a dummy style at each level which cascades back to the master.

Something like

,---- style.css
| @import url(../style.css);
`----

combined with:

,----
| 	("web-org"
| 	 :base-directory "~/webs/rgr/"
| 	 :publishing-directory "/ssh:rgrweb:/home/shamrock/rgrweb/"
| 	 :base-extension "org"
| 	 :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
|          :recursive t
| 	 :section-numbers nil
| 	 :style "<link rel=stylesheet
|                      href=\"./style.css\"
|                      type=\"text/css\">"
| 	 :auto-preamble t
| 	 :auto-postamble t
| 	 :preamble "<div id='Content'><a href='../'>Back</a> - <a href='http://rgrweb/default/'>Home</a>"
| 	 :postamble "</div>"
| 	 :author nil
| 	 )
| 
`----

in my org-publish-project-alist

I don't know if things have barreled  along so quickly that this is more
patching and sticking plaster than a solid solution but it works well for
me.

richard.
