Re: Outputing the same value-of for different nodes

If you use templates rather than for-each, this is a fairly natural
operation for XSLT. Then you just need to apply the son template twice,
thus:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="tree">
    <xsl:copy>
      <first>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </first>
      <second>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </second>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

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

  <xsl:template match="value">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:value-of select="."/><position><xsl:value-of
select="count(preceding::value) + 1"/></position>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
