At the top level of your stylesheet, bind the root node of the source file 
to a global variable as in:

  <xsl:variable name="source" select="/"/>

Then, when you are in the context of the external file, change the context 
to the source file by:

  <xsl:for-each select="$source">

I hope this helps.
