Yes:

<xsl:template name="one">
<A>
  <xsl:call-template name="two"/>
</A>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="two">
  <B/>
</xsl:template>

I suspect your error is the "//*". This selects all the elements in the
whole document. Your intention was probably to do a recursive descent in
which you only select the children of the current node, that is select="*".
