reading xml values as variables in XSL

I have a XML properties file in diffent path and it is like 

 <MyValues>
 <MyValue1>test</MyValue1>
</MyValues>

I would like to read MyValue1 in xslt,where i'm doing conversion for different XML,which is in different path. My xsl is like 

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

 <xsl:variable name="GetMyValue" 

     select="${MyValue1}"/>
 </xsl:stylesheet>

how can i read MyValue1 from xml.

If you want to read in a secondary input file, then, given XSLT 2.0, you have the choice between the doc function and the document function. For a single file, doc suffices, so you can declare a global variable or parameter with e.g. <xsl:variable name="input2" select="doc('dir/subdir/properties.xml')"/> and then use that with e.g. <xsl:variable name="GetMyValue" select="$input2/MyValues/MyValue1"/>.
