Bryan,

Could you be more specific about what you mean by "the position of 'file' in the root document"? The position() function returns the position of the current node within the current node list, which is not (at all) the same as the position of a node within a document.

<xsl:number> is often a handy way of getting the position of a node in a document, or among its siblings, within a hierarchy etc.

Cheers,
Wendell

If I'm using document() to make a number of simple includes, like

<xsl:template match="file">
<xsl:param name="doc" select="document(@href)">
<xsl:for-each select="$doc">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:for-each>

is there anyway to find out the position of file in the root document,
without trying to do <xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="filepos" select="position()"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

my problem is that I have a template being applied quite low in the included
documents which needs to know  the position of the including document.
