I have a custom module, which will add skin css

    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addItem">
            <type>skin_css</type>
            <name>css/banner.css</name>
        </action>
    </reference>

finally it includes the css for me in base theme 

http://localhost/m1/skin/frontend/base/default/css/banner.css

How can I make it load the css in current theme?

Place your css in your current theme like:

skin/frontend/<package>/<theme>/css/banner.css

if i change to <name>css/banner.css</name> to skin/frontend/rwd/default/css/banner.css, the path is duplicated localhost/m1/skin/frontend/base/default/skin/frontend/rwd/… – hkguile yesterday
    
you have to set <name>css/banner.css</name> only, it willtake css form your current theme. if magento doesn't find css in current therm then it collects from base – Jaimin Parikh yesterday

If you are developing an extension and using css/js then you have to include in base/default package because when you give your extension someone else at that time you dont know which theme they are using .

That's why magento provide fallback mechanism so if you developing an extension then you have to use last fallback so your files always pickup and user can override your files by adding in own theme.

Hope this will help your concern
