count rows in multiple tables

your problem is I think that you are selecting the wrong node list
(guessing from your code, without seeing the input)
position() doesn't work as you suggest above it doesn't normally
maintain a global count, but rather just gives the position in the
current node list (ie the nodes in the currently active step of a path
or apply-templates or for-each.)

And that's your problem, you have a for-each selecting a node list but
then you are only processing some of the nodes, due to the nested
xsl:ifs so position() gives th eposition in the current notde list and
so will not alternate th ecolours unless you xsl:if always omit rows in
pairs.

The solution is just to select tghe nodes you want rather than slect too
many and then do nothing for some of them:

ie don't do this:

          <xsl:for-each
select="*/tasked_country_segment/service_tasked_segment/task_unit_and_loca
tion_segment">
            <xsl:if test
="aircraft_mission_data_segment/aircraft_mission_data/package_identificati
on!=''">
	      <xsl:if
test="aircraft_mission_data_segment/aircraft_mission_data/mission_number=$
mission_id">


do this

          <xsl:for-each
select="*/tasked_country_segment/service_tasked_segment/task_unit_and_loca
tion_segment
[aircraft_mission_data_segment/aircraft_mission_data/package_identification!=''
and
aircraft_mission_data_segment/aircraft_mission_data/mission_number=$mission_id
]"/>
