Not at all, how should the processor (or anyone else) know when to use
which template?

You could use:
- modes
    <xsl:template match="var"> <!-- foo --> </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="var" mode="ids"> <!-- bar --> </xsl:template>
  and use
    <xsl:apply-templates />
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="ids" />
- for-each
    <!-- ... build your result -->
    <xsl:for-each select="var/@id">
      <!-- print id -->
    </xsl:for-each>
- there are more ways for sure ;-)
