I am providing a csv file containing for example __export__.res_partner_22 external id to the record(s). When the csv is imported, the id is not the one I provided.
How is supposed to maintain relationships between old records if this happens?

It doesn't matter if the database id changes between ols and new databases:
the partner id could be "156", but the external id preserves the old (__export__.res_partner_22), so this way the relationship between (for example user_id) is preserved. The only difference is that in old database:
id = 22
external id: *_22
and in the new database:
id = 156
external id: *_22

Are you importing the CSV file via the User Interface? A module? If via the User Interface, what field are you mapping the External ID field to?
Thanks, @Ray Carnes seems I found the answer myself.. I was wrong in something. Here's the post.
In the original question, I inferred that id and external_id should preserve the same number, and I was wrong in that.
