Let's see why this is the case. > <snip /> Hi, It seems to me that the 'current-cell' is not (or does not necessarily have to be) a 'global' variable, or at least, a remote possibility could be to gather all cells in a node-set variable at a higher level and pass it in as parameter to the Agent-Processing Template(?) Pseudo-code like: <xsl:variable name="vcells" select="???" /> ... <xsl:call-template name="Agent-Processing"> <xsl:with-param name="pcells" select="$vcells" /> </xsl:call-template> ... <xsl:template name="Agent-Processing"> <xsl:param name="pcells" /> <xsl:for-each select="$pcells/cell"> <xsl:call-template name="Agent-Movement-Rule" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> ... Of course, this would depend on the relationship between the $num-agents in the select expression of your for-each and the $current-cell variable. Is it possible to sort it out at a higher level in the tree, *before* the Agent-Processing template is called? If so, an approach like this would make your life much easier, I think... Same goes for the Agent-Movement-Rule template: equip it with an xsl:param and pass the current cell in through there. <snip /> > This template needs to dynamically alter the global variable. > It seems that you are struggling more with the scope of the variable in question than with the need of its being mutable. In any case, both sides can be dealt with by using parameters... the parameter being passed in is always in scope for the current template, and can be modified to make it depend upon a higher-level condition. Hope this helps! Cheers, Andreas
