Since setValues() has an instance of CSSEngine, you should be able to use that instance to call the getDocument() accessor (line 545 of [1], referencing the Document member variable at line 178.) Once you have the document object, you can probably then get to the element via document.getDocumentElement() (Look at the disposeStyleMaps argument at line 496 of [1] for an example.)

However, on the Apache FOP team, we do property processing that may be vaguely similar to what you need to do ([3], lines 355-431). [Note: FOP has *not* yet implemented the border conflict resolution scheme.] Basically, there is a chance you may not need a "second pass" for evaluation, if you can come up with a shorthand data structure divided out into its components that is initialized when either (a) the shorthand or (b) one of its components comes up first in the processing. You would just initialize this data structure differently depending on which property first appears. When the other property occurs, then you would update the same data structure. I don't know if this will work, however, and this is just a shot in the dark to your question--I wouldn't be surprised if it had little relevance to your needs.
