is it possible to access the previous context()

Hi all. 
Is it possible to access the previous context in nested <xsl:for-each>
loops.   

for example if my xml file is:

<root>
	<FilterTypes>
		<FilterType type="red"/>
		<FilterType type="green"/>
		<FilterType type="orange"/>
		<FilterType type="blue"/>	
	</FilterTypes>
	<Filters>
		<Filter>
			<Name>Not Shiny</Name>
			<Value>blah</Value>
			<FitlerType type="red" value="34"/>
			<FitlerType type="blue" value="87"/>
		</Filter>
		<Filter>
			<Name>Shiny</Name>
			<Value>other</Value>
			<FitlerType type="green" value="12"/>
			<FitlerType type="orange" value="13"/>
			<FitlerType type="blue" value="15"/>
		</Filter>
	</Filters>
</root>

I am trying to do the following:

<table>
<xsl:for-each select="/root/FilterTypes/FilterType">
  <tr>
   <xsl:for-each select ="/root/Data/Filters">
	<xsl:for-each select="Filter">
		<td>here I want to display the @value attribute for the
FilterType element of the current Filter where the @type attribute is equal
to the @type attribute of the current /root/FilterTypes/FilterType in the
context of the outermost for loop. ugh.  even I get confused by this
sentence but it's right, that's what I am trying to do. 
		</td>
	</xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:for-each>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>

the output I am looking for is the following:

		Not Shiny		Shiny
red		  34			Nan
green		NaN			12
orange		NaN			13
blue		 87			15

I am not sure if this is possible the way the xml file is structured. 
Thanks in advance any help is really appreciated.  

Vladimir.
