Seems like you'd want instead
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document('somefile.xml')//some_element[@aval='true']"/>
-- // rather than / as otherwise you'd match either exactly one node (if
some_element were the top-level element in somefile.xml and if its aval
attribute's value were 'true') or nothing
-- and you have to quote the URI of your file (here somefile.xml) so that it
will treated as a string rather than (here) the name of some element whose
content is to be converted to a string (which would almost certainly make it
the null string in your case)

Here you almost certainly want
<xsl:template match="some_element">
<H1> FOUND IT </H1>
</xsl:template>
-- because as written, the H1 element you give is *not* part of your
template.
The following sample was tested and works with Instant Saxon.
dummy.xml:
---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dummy/>
test.xml
---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dummy>
<some_element aval="false"></some_element>
<some_element aval="true"></some_element>
<some_element></some_element>
<some_other_element>
<some_element aval="true"></some_element>
</some_other_element>
</dummy>
---
test.xsl:
---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<p>Did we find it?</p>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document('test.xml')//some_element[@aval='true']"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="some_element">
<h1> FOUND IT! </h1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
---
command line:
---
prompt> "d:\Program Files\Instant Saxon\saxon.exe" dummy.xml test.xsl >
test.htm
---
result (test.htm):
---
<html>
<body>
<p>Did we find it?</p>
<h1> FOUND IT! </h1>
<h1> FOUND IT! </h1>
</body>
</html>
