and even if you want to call it with some other node in the select, you 
could drop the param
by using apply-templates with a mode instead of call-template:

<xsl:template match="ORDER">
   <xsl:element name="Shipment">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="generate-containers"/>
   </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="generate-containers">
   <xsl:variable name="shippedOrder" select="."/>
   <xsl:variable name="listoftrackingnumbers">
       <xsl:for-each select=".//PACKAGE[generate-id(.) = 
generate-id(key('container-group', TRACKING_NUMBER)[1])]">
           <xsl:sort 
select="count($shippedOrder/ORDER_DETAIL[.//PACKAGE/TRACKING_NUMBER = 
current()/TRACKING_NUMBER])"
               order="ascending" data-type="number"/>
           <xsl:value-of select="concat(TRACKING_NUMBER, '~')"/>
       </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
