Hi Jay, Is the order of declaration what's important in the document, or does the parser detect dependencies so that this would work...? <xsl:stylesheet> <xsl:variable name="C"> some processing dependent on A,B,etc. </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="B"> some processing dependent on B </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="A"> some processing... </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> transform </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I assume that the former is the case, but you never know.

However, beware of circular definitions (which no language can handle). <xsl: variable name="a"> some processing dependent on the value of $b </xsl:variable> <xsl: variable name="b"> some processing dependent on the value of $a </xsl:variable> will break. And while it looks simple in this very obvious case, it can be hell to figure out in practice, when it's halfway through 3,000 lines of souce code in multiple files. So I try to keep those kinds of things together in the same file and write comments so that I can figure out what I did when I come back to that stretch of code next year.

For instance, if I do this, <xsl:stylesheet> <xsl:variable name="A"> some processing... </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="B"> some processing dependent on B </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="C"> some processing dependent on A,B,etc. </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> transform </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Will I be ensured that C will be processed after B and after A,etc? Thanks, Matt
