Styles without Http Request for StyleSheet

I need to absolutely minimize the number of round-trip requests for a page on
my site (because mobile phones will also be accessing it). I want to include
some global styles for all the pages of my site but I notice that if I make
them a <LINK>, the client-side browser needs to request that as a separate
object. Is there a way to do it so that the styles are pre-included in the
page before the page is delivered?

Put styles in <style> element. But instead of round-trips you'll get
increased network traffic, because on each request you'll send
informations about styles. When you use <link> element there is an extra
roundtrip, but only once, because css file is held in browser's cache
and isn't downloaded everytime.
 
I agree.

The linked stylesheet file is retrieved separately, but it's also can be
cached by the browser as a separate file; if it's used by another web page,
it probably will not be downloaded again if it's not modified after you
last retrieved it.
