Correct, because you changed your context with the <xsl:for-each>

Yes, by putting it into another variable:

<xsl:variable name="sNode" select="aNodeInsideTheSourceDocument"/>

<xsl:for-each select="$theVariable">
 <!-- some code here -->
  <xsl:apply-template select="$sNode" />

 <!-- some more code here -->
</xsl:for-each>

I hope this helps.
