You can certainly do that.

Whether you need a distinct variable depends on how complicated the
filter is; you might be able to do all the filtering in the select of
the apply-templates, either because it's simple or because you wrote a
function.

Stacking variables with modes -- variable A is apply-templates on some
initial content set with mode "doA", variable B is apply templates on $A
with mode "doB", and so on -- is an effective way to do encapsulation in
XSLT.

Good luck!
