Re: Apply-templates for getting around my XML doc?

OK. If I wanted to process specific elements only, and no others, in the order listed in the stylesheet,
would the following XSLT be a correct way to navigate around?
<xsl:stylesheet etc.>
<xsl:template match='/'>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/L/0/iii"/> <!-- does this pass the ball directly to the template listed below?-->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/L/8/iii">
<!--do something-->
<xsl:apply-templates select="/X/4/vii"/> <!--and then does this go to the next template?-->
</xsl:template>

Hopefully this can eliminate [this style of navigating] as a potential error. I don't understand how the processor thinks, and I had some problems with templates being ignored, but a wise man recommended this style as a [simple-enough-for-even-me-to-understand] potential solution. Have I missed even that boat?

<xsl:template match="X/8/iii">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//L/4/ii"/>
</xsl:template>

Good luck,
Wendell
