RE: Finding immediately preceding node -- solved.

I finally got it work.  I abandoned for-each and went back to
original template and this worked:

<xsl:template match="c">
   <xsl:when test="@name='cde'">
       <xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when test="../preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc'">
                <!-- Do something -->
           </xsl:when>
           <xsl:otherwise>
                <!-- Do something else -->
            </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Thanks for everyones help!
