No.

You supply secondary ones that override the master/main one. Master one
referred to by absolute location, site-section overrides use relative
location*, per-page overrides get embedded. That's why they're called
"Cascading".

* You are sectioning your site by directory hierarchy, aren't you? If
not, you richly deserve whatever you get. If you're depending on a
CMS, let the CMS deal with it.
