I don't undestand all detail you are talking about, but the right way is
to select desired value into xsl:variable, of course. Example follows:
<data>
<values>
<test id=1 name='one'/>
<test id=2 name='two'/>
</values>
<index>
<id>1</id>
</index>
</data>
...
<xsl:template match='data'>
<xsl:vaiable name='id'><xsl:value-of select='index/id'></xsl:vaiable>
<xsl:value-of select='values/test[@id=$id]/@name'/>
</xsl:template>
