If you are currently processing a SECTION element then you need to go back
up a level to see the other SECTION element siblings of the current node.

<xsl:template match="SECTION">
  <xsl:value-of select="concat('Title: ',TITLE)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="thisID" select="@ID"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="../SECTION[RELATED/@ID=$thisID]">
    <br/>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat('Related Title: ',TITLE)"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
  <br/><br/>
</xsl:template>

You could also use keys.
