You don't say why you need a variable here.

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

will do what you ask.

<xsl:apply-templates select="$x/*"/>

for example, although you could do this without using a variable, just
inline the function call.

<xsl:apply-templates select="document ('file.xml')/*"/>

Of course it doesn't have to be apply-templates you use, for-each of
copy-of or any other instruction can be used.
