Then your real code and or real input is not as you described.

$X holds a node set which contains the Value element if it is defined as
I showed.  assuming that the current node at the point that you made the
variable binding had child element MainClass.

$x = 'ParentValue' is true because when comparing a node set
to a string the string value of the node is taken, it does not mean that
$x has a value which is a string, $x has a value which is a node set.

> Is there any other way of retreiving the value of @ref?

you need to give more indication of what you are doing.
Ie a complete (6 line) input file and a complete stylesheet.
