It's not possible, variables in functional languages are not variable...
Seems an odd requirement though, if it's always 1 why not just use 1, or is 
it so that you can test later on?
If so you'll need to rethink the way you handle the proble, there's also no 
concept of order execution in an XSL transformation.
