RE: alternative for modes

Oops sorry for my mixing up between tags and elements, still new to XSLT :)

I did not meant it that way: imagine you have to parse a certain node 'x' (+
his children) more than 1 time in a stylesheet: each time the parsing of 'x'
is exactly the same, but the parsing of 'x''s children is different. So for
each time I should call the same template for 'x', but that template should
call a different template for his children.

  Imagine this function can be called on a tag <root> and <child> is a child
  of that tag. So each time when 'generalTemplate' is called, a template
which
  matches the tag 'child' will be called too:


OK, although xslt can't see any tags in the document, and tags dont have
children (and tags are not the same thing as elements)

< xsl:template match="child">
	<xsl:if test="$p = 'situation1'>

If situation is deducable from the context of the child element node
then a common idiom is to have

 <xsl:template match="foo/child">...
 <xsl:template match="bar/child">...
 <xsl:template match="child[x=y]" priority="2">...

and then you just need 
<xsl:apply-templates/>
in your calling template.
