Re: Multiple XSLT transformations with intermediate files

if you remove the p:store YES they are connected

The p:store step has an interesting side-effet, it disconnect the following
steps

so

do this instead

<p:xslt name="first-to-intermediate">
<p:xslt>
...
...
<p:store href="intermediate.xml" >
  <p:input port="source">
    <p:pipe step="first-to-intermediate" port="result"/>
 </p:input>
</p:store>
...
<p:store href="final.xml"/>
