Is it possible to have a local class inherit all classes imported from a file?

Question

Say I have a css file that looks something like this:

/* Base styles */
.content {
    background-color: var(--background);
    color: var(--text);
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}

@media (min-width: 500px) {
    .content {
        font-size: 22px;
    }
}

/* Headers */
h2 {
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: 700;
}

/* Classes */
.small-caps {
    font-feature-settings: "tnum";
    letter-spacing: 0.05em;
}

With PostCSS you can consume another class’s properties like this:

.another-class {
    composes: content from "other-file.css";
}

… which will be compiled to:

.another-class {
    background-color: var(--background);
    color: var(--text);
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}

Is it possible to have a class inherit all styles from a given target so you can write something like (pseudo code):

.another-class {
    composes: * from "other-file.css";
}

… that when rendered it comes out like this?

/* Base styles */
.another-class .content {
    background-color: var(--background);
    color: var(--text);
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}

@media (min-width: 500px) {
    .another-class .content {
        font-size: 22px;
    }
}

/* Headers */
.another-class h2 {
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: 700;
}

/* Classes */
.another-class .small-caps {
    font-feature-settings: "tnum";
    letter-spacing: 0.05em;
}

This is possible using Sass (Scss).

Example:

test1.scss

.elem {
  background: red;
  @import 'test2';
}

test2.scss

.inner {
  background: blue;
}

.outer {
  background: green;
}

@media (max-width: 500px){
  .something {
    color: black;
  }
}

Output:

.elem {
  background: red; }
  .elem .inner {
    background: blue; }
  .elem .outer {
    background: green; }
  @media (max-width: 500px) {
    .elem .something {
      color: black; } }
