where do you run that?
If at the root then the not(parent::accessory) never does anything, as
* must be root and so its parent is /, so in that case it is equivalent
to

 <xsl:apply-templates select="/root/Product"/>

which gets all the top level products.

this would work to get all the accessorys but // is rather expensive
(you may know that all accessory elements are only one level down. but
the system doesn't and it will search the entire document, 

<xsl:apply-templates select="/root/Product/accessory/Product"/>

might be better.

You can filter out the other ones several ways, for example if you'd
saved the first lot in a variable

<xsl:variable name="p" select="/root/Product"/>

you could go


<xsl:apply-templates select="/root/Product/accessory/Product[
not(ID=$p/ID)]"/>
