Not necessarily. If that's the only location where this CSS is used, then
it may be appropriate to include it directly in the template.

I'm reasonably confident that the include tag will do exactly what you want
it to do. Django is not going to care whether it is including HTML or CSS
or a recipe for chocolate French fries. It'll only care if other template
tags are included and cause other issues, but otherwise the content is
irrelevant. All the template system does is generate a text file,
ultimately.
I'm assuming this CSS file is located in your template directories and not
in your static files area so that the template system can find it.
