Count all the following nodes of a perticular parent

hello,
thanks for the previous solutions suggested.
how can i count following nodes of a perticular node, with a perticular
parent.
the xml is something like that:
<root>
	<branch>
		<subBranch>
			.
			.
	<branch>
		<subBranch>
			.
			.
	<branch_anotherType>
		
		<subBranch>
			.
	<branch_anotherType>
		
		<subBranch>
			.
			.
</root>	.
	
actually i want to count how many child nodes exists after 2nd <branch>
element.
i expected to have 2 as the result

thank you.
