i want to access to the preceding node N1 from a node N2
and also its  following node N3
so i use this instruction:
for N1 :  $N2/preceding-sibling::node()
for N3 :  $N2/following-sibling::node()
but it's not correct,i don't know why,

You are saying "node" but I think you mean "element" and you will, therefore, need preceding-sibling::*[1] for the closest element.

my xml file is like:
........
<N1>
<N2>
<N3>
........

Then you are not considering that in the following:

   <N1>xxx</N1>
   <N2>yyy</N2>

there is a text node between the element node named "N1" and the element node named "N2".

I hope this helps.
