testing for existence of an element - multiple variabl

Subject: testing for existence of an element - multiple variables

I am working within a multiple XML input environment. I have an XML input 
say $doc1 within which there are several nodesets which are very similar 
(but different) I am trying to establish the existence of a particular 
nodeset $doc1//CommonSoFar/$thisone  where $thisone is a variable 
containing the name of the element that I am testing for.

<xsl:if test="$doc1//CommonSoFar/$thisone"/> I get a compile error with an 
objection to the second $ . How else could I code this ?

I realise I am missing the point somewhere here but I cannot get my head 
round it.

Thanks.
