I have checked it and I could print the value using the select attribute:


   <xforms:instance id="resource"><resource>value-1</resource></xforms:instance>       

<xxforms:variable name="variable1" select="instance(resource')"/>
<xforms:output id="control-1" value="$variable1"/>
 

But I should be able to use this variable inside the XPath, and it is not working. I am testing using the following code:

<xforms:instance id="next-resources"><values><value-1><next>value-5</value-1></next></values></xforms:instance>

<xforms:output id="control-2" value="instance('next-resources')/$variable1/next"/>
