I'm not sure what XPath expression you're currently using to select
nodes for processing, but this one would select all level2 elements
up to the one that contains the BREAK (not inclusive).

  /level1/level2[BREAK]/preceding-sibling::level2

Does that help get you going in the right direction, at least?
