XSLT operates one one primary XML input and then can use the XSLT 
document function
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document>
to read in other XML documents if needed.

So assuming you have a stylesheet processing file B you can use e.g.

   <xsl:copy-of 
select="document('fileA.xml')/root-element-name/child-element/element-to-copy" 
/>

at that place in the stylesheet where you want to insert the element 
from fileA.xml. Obviously the XPath expression is just an example, what 
you need exactly after document('fileA.xml')/ depends on the structure 
of that document.
