    	<xsl:template match="grandchild">
	 <P>Current Node    : <xsl:value-of select="."/>
	  <BR />
	  Next Grandchild : 
	  <xsl:choose>
	   <xsl:when test="position()=last()">
	    <xsl:value-of
select="parent::child/following-sibling::child[1]/child::grandchild[1]"/>
	   </xsl:when>
	   <xsl:otherwise>
	    <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::grandchild[1]"/>
	   </xsl:otherwise>
	  </xsl:choose>
         </P>
    	</xsl:template>

The seventh line says : select the 'child' element of the parent axis 
('child' denoting the element's QName), from there select the first
follwing sibling, and from there select the first child ('child' herein
denoting the children's axis).
