The HIG is adamant that one must never allow nested sheets on a window. Do
people generally agree with this, as a matter of design?

Yes.

My app is a single-window, non-document-based utility, so most
dialogs are appropriately implemented as sheets on the single window.

I'm not sure this is appropriate. If there is only one window to begin with, I don't see why it is necessary to use sheets.


Sometimes (but not always), the chosen file contains an item
that conflicts with an item already imported into the utility, and I need to
present a small secondary dialog or sheet

If you really have to, close the first sheet, open the second one and - if necessary - reopen the first one after the user dismissed the second sheet.


But I'm with Uli here: You should probably rethink your user interface.
