not at all confusing, or that odd...

what is the last container you have before you pull the copy in from
the include?  is it a <td>?  a <div>?

class that (or id it), and then call your CSS via that... wildcards
won't do you much good...

so:
<td id="SideBar">
	<p>
	Imported copy.  <a href="">a link</a>.
	</p>
</td>

the CSS:

#SideBar a:link { color : #00ff00 ; }

and obviously you handle a regular <a> and the other pseudo-
classes...
