Ah, I see. Then I'm afraid you're up against the limits of XPath 1.0, 
which was never intended as a full-fledged processing or even query 
language. But as Mike showed, you can do what you want in XPath 2.0. 
If running 2.0 is an available option for you, you'd find in general 
that your code-separation goals are much easier to achieve. XPath 2.0 
makes it easy to do many things that are difficult in XPath 1.0, and 
possible to do many things otherwise impossible.

Cheers,
Wendell
