(XPATH) Limit the scope of "Ancestor"

Can I limit the scope of "Ancestor"? For example,

1...<div itemtype="product" itemprop="name">
2... <div itemtype="product">
3...   <div itemtype="List"> 
4...     <span itemprop="name"> </span>
5...  </div>
6...   <span itemprop="name"> </c>
7... </div>
8...</div>

Condition: 1. Select nodes *[@itemtype="product' and not(@itemprop)] 2. Under this childnodes, select itemprop, but between them, there's no new itemtype, in this case only line 6 should be selected.

I used this code, but not working due to ancestor nodes
//*[@itemtype and not(@itemprop) and contains(@itemtype, '/Product')]//*[@itemprop='name' and count(ancestor::*[contains(@itemtype, 'schema.org/Product')])=count(ancestor::*[@itemtype])]

How can I exclude the top nodes from ancestor searching?

1...<div itemtype="product" itemprop="name"> --> ignore this line
-------------------------------------------> 
2... <div itemtype="product">
3...   <div itemtype="List"> 
4...     <span itemprop="name"> </span>
5...  </div>
6...   <span itemprop="name"> </c>
7... </div>
8...</div>

If I understand you correctly, you're looking for something like this:

//*[@itemtype='product'][not(@itemprop='name')]/descendant-or-self::*[1]

Output:

 <div itemtype="product">
   <div itemtype="List"> 
      <span itemprop="name"> </span>
   </div>
   <span itemprop="name"> </span>
</div>
