do you mean descendant here or child?

If set M1 is A B C and set M2 is set B C D and if M3 is tables that
contain A but not E or F then then you probably just want
something like (assuming child, throw in a few .// if not)

<xsl:template match="TABLE[A|B|C]">
 make an M1-table
</xsl:template

<xsl:template match="TABLE[B|C|D]">
 make an M2-table
</xsl:template

<xsl:template match="TABLE[A][not(E|F)]">
 make an M3-table
</xsl:template
