not sure what you mean but if you have  a file
<files>
 <z>one.xml</z>
 <z>two.xml</z>
 <z>three.xml</z>
</files>

and go

<xsl:variable name="files" select="document(document('files.xml')/files/z)"/>

then $files is a node set of three document nodes representing one.xml
two.xml and three.xml and you can apply
templates to all three at once with
<xsl:apply-templates select="$files"/>
or extract elements from all three documents with
xsl:for-each select="$files/some/path/to/here"
