I have two standalone xml files, strucure.xml and data.xml. I also have the XSLT file layout.xsl. In XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0, using your variable: <xsl:for-each select="some_tag">

</xsl:for-each>In XSLT 2.0 this is a lot tighter: <!--load up a key table with children of data, indexed by name--> <xsl:key name="'data'" match="data/*" use="name(.)"/> <xsl:for-each select="some_tag">
<div id="{@id}"
class="{key('data',@id,document('data.xml'))}">...</div>
</xsl:for-each>Don't worry about the repeated calls to the document() function, the processor knows not to go and fetch the XML document each time. I do worry about your possible use of namespaces and the default namespace, but I'm assuming above you are doing everything in no namespace. Why does this not work Because of context and the addressing of elements vs. the addressing of attributes. Where you say "$data/@id", that is the id= attribute of each element in the $data variable, not element children of $data elements whose name is that of an id= attribute. and is their a solution to create a pattern mixing these different xml sources? In XSLT the term "pattern" is used for that subset of XPath expressions suitable for an attribute with match= properties. I don't see any solution involving nuances of patterns ... after all, only one node is being sent to the template rules at any one time, and it only comes from one of the two documents. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . .
