Thanks Michael, However in my architecture we have not
yet introduced variables.

Do you think something like this would work instead,
without using variables?

<xsl:for-each select="BB/BB1">
<xsl:copy-of
select="/root/AA/AA1[/BB/BB1[position()]]"/>
</xsl:for-each>

I'm actually not using straigt xsl, I have xml which
is transformed into xsl, and in my context I have
something like this:

<Iteration>
<RepeatingUnit>BB/BB1</RepeatingUnit>
<RepeatingAction>
<Result>/root/AA/[position of BB1]</Result> <-- xpath
can go here
</RepeatingAction>
</Iteration>
