They are present in the input XML, but not as children of the context node,
which is /order/admin.

I think it would be a much cleaner design to do

<xsl:template match="order">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

and then have a template rule for <admin> in one module, and a rule for
<billing> in the other.
