we all know there are no silly questions, just silly people.

fundamentally, this is a difference within xslt, u may create variables but
they may not change ( ie, the old i=i+1 counter is invalid).

ok will take a look now at your specific problem

there were some mistakes in your syntax
here is 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="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="level" select="3"/>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$level=3">
<xsl:value-of select="/test"/>

</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

here is a test xml i used for testing your code as u did not include xml
------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="test2.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<test>
adsfadsfasdf
</test>
