A node does not, of itself, have a position() it only has a position in
a given node list (and the same node may be in many node lists).

so for example if you go
<xsl:apply-templates select="parent::xxx"/>

then the position() of the node will be 1.

Probably what you want is the sibling number of the parent node, which
is
<xsl:value-of select="count(1parent::*/preceding-sibling::*)"/>
