It's not true so you can't achieve it. (In particuar you shouldn't
assume that a for-each is a "loop" that is executed sequentially,
it's better to think of it as acting in parallel (even though
implementations may be sequential today).

If you said what you were trying to do then someone could probably tell
you how to do it in XSL, but variable,s once bound, don't change their
values.
