For example http://domain/_layouts/mystyles.css and http://domain/<strong>sites/sc1</strong>/_layouts/mystyles.css both reference the same file on the file system at 12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\mystyles.css.

This was just a dev environment, the actual environment is standard, but I will keep this other solution in mind. Do you know if SP will rewrite these links (_layouts) if they are saved in a site template? It was rewriting all my root links, which was the main issue.

It sounds like the SPUrl expression prefix is not available (as is the case with WSS or SharePoint Foundation). An alternative way of referencing resources such as style sheets without the expression prefix is to place these in the Layouts folder (typically located at \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS in SharePoint 2007). You can then reference these resources using a URL in the form http://siteurl/_layouts/folder/resource.css). Let me know if you need any more information. @sandeep, @emerson – which version of SharePoint are you running?
