In the future you might consider posting to the XSL mailing list; most people 
do not appreciate being contacted directly.

About your question, yes, this is a frequent problem.  The solution is to 
store a reference to the root of the first document in a variable before the 
for-each, and then access the first document through that variable:

<xsl:variable name="root" select="/"/>
<xsl:for-each select="document('foo.xml')/bar">
  ...
  <!-- access the /baz/zoit elements in the original document -->
  <xsl:value-of select="$root/bar/zoit"/>
  ...
</xsl:for-each>

Let me know if this helps.  Also, if you use the key() function, there are 
other things you have to do.
