Sounds as if you're doing the right thing:
apply-templates select="//figure[(_at_)id="current()/@figures]"
(or using keys would be faster)
This will process the referenced figure, as a sort of subroutine, and
then return to continue where the processing left off, dealing with the
figureAnchor.
But it seems you've coded it wrong. The usual plea therefore - we can't
debug your code without seeing it.

Subject: [xsl] Problem relocating nodes and then applying templates
Hi,
I currently have the following type of reference scattered
throughout an XML document (used as place-holders):
<figureAnchor figures="c01-fig-xxxx"/> ["xxxx" is some number]
all of which reference a node structure at the end of the xml file:
<figureGroup>
<figure id="c01-fig-0001">
<graphic xlink:href="file://images/someimage1.jpg" />
<caption>
<p>Figure caption 1</p>
</caption>
</figure>
<figure id="c01-fig-0002">
<graphic xlink:href="file://images/someimage2.jpg" />
<caption>
<p>Figure caption 2</p>
</caption>
</figure>
...
</figureGroup>
When I come upon a <figureAnchor> tag during the transform to
an FO document, is there anyway to grab the proper node from
the end of the document, insert it at the <figureAnchor>
location, and then apply-templates to format the elements??
I've tried copy-of, but this only writes the raw XML to the
output FO file. When trying apply-templates, the processor
jumps to the <figureGroup> at the end of the file, and
proceeds to process from there (skipping the processing of
the rest of the xml file between <figureAnchor> and <figureGroup>).
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
