perhaps an example would help, this is what I am doing..

  // create new xsltprocessor
  $proc = new xsltprocessor();
  // create a second xsltprocessor
  $proc2 = new xsltprocessor();
  // create new domDocument, this will be the XML
  $dom = new domDocument;
  // create new domDocument,  the main xsl stylesheet
  $dom2 = new domDocument;
  // dom3 is the second xsl stylesheet
  $dom3 = new domDocument;
  // load the xmlstring
  $dom->loadxml($xmlstring);
  // load domDocument from string, the xsl document is also the theme
  // and is stored in the themes directory
  $dom2->load('./path/to/first.xsl');
  // load the xsl from the extention
  $dom3->load('./path/to/second.xsl');
  // import stylesheet from domDocument
  $proc->importStylesheet($dom2);
  // process the xsl from the extension
  $proc2->importStylesheet($dom3);
  // create domDocument from transformation (returns domDocument)
  $result = $proc->transformToDoc($dom);
  // transform again with the second xsl doc
  $result = $proc2->transformToDoc($dom);
  // change the document encoding to HTML
  // this is required so we dont get bizarre UTF-8 chars popping up
  // when using html entities such as &#160;
  $result->encoding = "HTML";
  // output domDocument xml to string
  print $result->savexml();

Here I create the second dom object and use transformToDoc() to apply
the first, then the second

Kind regards
Kevin
