Are the CSS files served by the CMS (linked to from the HTML page), or do
You want to 'inject' them from the client side?

If the CSS files are delivered as part of the HTML page, then sure, this is
part of the standard.

I see, so you're after injecting CSS locally, after all ... have you tried creating a master .css file that includes further .css files with the @import rule?
