use:
<xsl:when test="$clientid = ''"><xsl:copy-of select="//client"/></xsl:when>



and then, your for-each will work fine.

Perhaps :
<xsl:for-each select="$selectclause/*">
        my code
</xsl:for-each>

It depends on your code.

This will work with Saxon and version="1.1"
Otherwise, use the function nodeset() :

<xsl:for-each select="nodeset($selectclause)/*">
etc.
