You can access the other file using the document() function.  I would
usually have two global variables, one holding the template and one
the data:

<xsl:variable name="template" select="/" />
<xsl:variable name="data" select="document('data.xml')" />

Whenever you need bits of data, you can then get it via the $data
variable, using XPaths in the same way as you would usually, or
perhaps using keys or something.  As it's a global variable, you can
access it anywhere.

I hope that helps - if you have more specific questions then do post a
sample of what you have and what you're trying to achieve.

Cheers,

Jeni
