yy=file5
for i in `cat file1` ; do 
    sed -e "s/old1/new1 $i/g" -e "s/old2/`cut -d, -f 1 ${yy}`/g" file2 > file3
done


I changed the single-quotes to double-quotes so that they can have
their variables interpreted.  The problem with this loop is that, at
each iteration, file3 will be overwritten.
