I'm not sure what you mean by "it needs to retain its instruction for
the next xml". Possibly you want something along the lines of:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy-of select="." />
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('other.xml')" />
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('more.xml')" />
  ...
</xsl:template>

or maybe you want to transform the other documents using your
stylesheet, in which case you need:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy-of select="." />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="document('other.xml')" />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="document('more.xml')" />
  ...
</xsl:template>

If you can give a fuller description of what you're trying to do, we
might be able to help further...

Cheers,

Jeni
