no.
<xsl:variable name="teststring"
expr="
customer_id[contains(.,$_id)] and
the attribute should be select not expr
other than that it looks legal but probably doesn't do what you intend.
it's a boolean expression (because of the ands) so each of the node sets
selected by the sub terms will be coerced to true or false depending
on whether they are empty
<xsl:if test="$teststring=true">
then the final value will be coerced to a string and tested for equality
against the string resulting in selecting the child elements called true
