I suspect you are doing something like

<xsl:for-each select="$value">

in which case, inside the <xsl:for-each>, the current node is in the new
document, which means that any //x expressions also refer to the new
document.

The usual remedy is to declare a global variable

<xsl:variable name="root" select="/"/>

and then you can always refer to the primary document as $root.
