[thelist] Could using SSI ("include") alter status of visited link?

Hi, All --

It seems to me that some time back, when I was testing some of the sites I've been creating or revising this summer, I had the CSS for links, visited, and hover links working properly. Now, however, the color of all links always remains the link/hover color; it never takes on the visited link color. Yesterday I noticed someone (either in this list or the CSS list) had ordered their CSS file to put hover first, and I updated my CSS files (in a couple sites) in case I had the cascade backwards, but my tests show I still have no use of visited link color.

As it happens, in pretty much all sites I've taken to using include virtual statements after a certain stage of development, and almost always the nav-bar (usually unordered list of links, styled without bullets) is a major part of the included file. Does having the navbar (links) brought in within SSI refresh them, such that I'll never see a visited link color?

Sorry if this sounds incomprehensible... ignore it if you don't understand. Thanks to those who do, and can answer one way or another.

Cheers --
Carol
