Maybe you need to look at the faq for this list (www.dpawson.co.uk)
which will have information on side effect free programming.
But I didn't understand your question at all. Up to this point your
description didn't use any variables at all, just Xpaths to compare two
different elements in your input, plus position() to generate some
numbers.

You can't in XSL "leave" some processing context and return theire
later so there is no need to remember any state using variables as you
would in a procedural language. If you gave some indication of a
(simplified) output you expected from that input, it might help.
