Basically, you can't. The code you provide isn't streamable.

There may be workarounds. For example, you could process the input stream
twice, once to extract the "lookup" information, and once to process the data
that references it. Then you might write:

<xsl:variable name="WaterSpeciesDisplayIndicator" as="xs:boolean">
  <xsl:stream href="UniverseKingdom.xml">
    <xsl:select="/*:UniverseKingdom/*:DisplayIndicators/*:WaterSpeciesDisplay
Indicator = 'true'"/>
  </xsl:stream>
</xsl:variable>

Note that (in Saxon at any rate) this will stop processing the input stream as
soon as a qualifying element is found, so it may not be as expensive as
processing the whole document twice.

If the lookup data is at the start of the file, and always appears before you
need it, then another approach is to use accumulators. These read data "in the
background" as the input stream is being read:

<xsl:accumulator name="indicator" as="xs:boolean" initial-value="false()">
  <xsl:accumulator-rule
match="/*:UniverseKingdom/*:DisplayIndicators/*:WaterSpeciesDisplayIndicator/
text()[. = 'true']"
     select="true()"/>
</xsl:accumulator>

which you can then reference as <xsl:if
test="accumulator-before('indicator')">....

variables probably doesnt know the XML we are streaming at the time of
declaration. I also know that from the template match for Amphibian, I can not
get to the xpath of
/*:UniverseKingdom/*:DisplayIndicators/*:WaterSpeciesDisplayIndicator.
