Doesn't the use of position() suffice to have the item number?

  Is it possible to reference elements in p[@class=bnlb] (to the
  left of the ! $groups) in the iterate? Or to pass a parameter
  including the item number of the p[@class=bnlb] to the iterate.
  The selected node of the iterate is <p=class=bDirectionsb>.
