Given that all the SomeNode elements are siblings of each other, you can collect together the other SomeNodes into a node set with: preceding-sibling::SomeNode | following-sibling::SomeNode I don't know what you want to do with them, though -- perhaps you could describe what you actually want to get from the XPath?
