I'm not using XSP. I have this working under mono with mod_mono and apache, the only difference is my referenced file is in the same folder with the Web.config file so not sure about ../../ but I thought it would work.
Mine is like this
<appSettings file="user.config">
<add key="myKey" value="somePrivateValue" />
</appSettings>
Where user.config is in the same folder with Web.config
In this scenario the setting from user.config is used in preference to the same setting in Web.config
Under mono, if I make a change in Web.config or user.config I have to killall mono to make it see the changes.
Under Windows it detects changes to Web.config but not changes to user.config
I would suggest 2 experiments.
1. Name the referenced file something other than Web.config as this name has special context, try main.config or something like that.
2. See if it works in the same folder with the Web.config instead of ../../
Hope that helps,

Thanks Joe,
I tried your suggestion, but it did not work. I created a Web.config
file inside WebApp1 and added the following:
I can read the value of "myKey" but not the the settings defined in
../../Web.config. Do you mean that it works for you with IIS or mono?
If I point xsp to mainDir I can read both values but I still have the
problem that I have to move all the dlls up to mainDir...
