You have it inside-out. Do this instead:
<xsl:variable name="rowstyle">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">
myItems1
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
myItems2
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="rowstyle">myItems1</xsl:variable>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:variable name="rowstyle">myItems2</xsl:variable>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
Why is this not possible? Why is this variable not in scope outside of the
xsl:choose? Is there no way for me to only do this calculation once,
instead of doing it everytime I need to know what rowstyle to use?
Sometimes I wish XSL was more like a procedural language.
Thanks.
