What if you have a CSS template that’s really nice, and you want to use it with a wordpress theme, but don’t want to edit all the theme files to use the rules in the CSS template? Is there a way to create a CSS file that acts as a proxy between the new CSS template and old WP theme?

    Good question! I’m afraid I think there is no native way. There would have to be a syntax like

    propertyname: inherit-from(.classname);     // Fictitious example! Does not work

    which doesn’t exist in CSS proper.

    It could probably be done, though, using a CSS pre-compiler like LeSS. LeSS’s “Mixins” function looks like it might do exactly what you need. From their front page:

    .rounded_corners (@radius: 5px) { 
  -moz-border-radius: @radius;
  -webkit-border-radius: @radius;
  border-radius: @radius;
}

#header {  
  .rounded_corners;  
}

    where rounded_corners would be your original class definition, and #header the WordPress equivalent.
