<xsl:template match="message">
<xsl:param name="id" select="@id"/>
 <xsl:for-each select="document('messages.xml')/messages/message/@id=$id">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

could also apply-templates against the messages document

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('messages.xml')/messages" mode="doc"/>
for example
