Selecting first child of ancestor using Xpath from descendant node

Here's my XML:

<c01>
 <did>
  <unittitle>Title</unittitle>
 </did>
 <c02>
  <did>
   <unittitle>Title</unittitle>
  </did>
 </co2>
 <c02>
  <did>
   <unittitle>Title</unittitle>
  </did>
 </co2>
 <c02>
  <did>
   <unittitle>Title</unittitle>
  </did>
 </co2>
</c01>

The active node is <did> as I'm working on a template. From any c02/did what XPATH do I use to select only the first c02 child of c01?

The answer is:

<xsl:if test=".. is ../../c02[1]">

Thanks, Martin and Wendell.

Try

../../c02[1]

This expression walks up two nodes from c02/did to c01 and then selects the first c02 child.
