Yes, all #style methods create a css include.

CSS is one big flat namespace, all styles are global.  If you don't want a
subcomponents style affecting it's parent component, you need to build your
CSS with that in mind. 

Say you have a comment form, you can wrap its render in a div with class
commentForm then write your css scoped to that like this...

.commentForm p {...}

To only have that style apply to paragraph tags inside the comment form and
not affect the parent components tags.
