Xpath (or) condition with node one of them

First, I'm familiar with or logic like this:

//*[@id='a' or @id='b']

But how to write the xpath if one of them having node (child, preceding, etc) like this:

//*[@id='a']//*[@id='aa'] or //*[@id='b']

The above return as invalid xpath.

I struggled to search on this forum but it was a bit difficult to find the right keywords.

How to write the correct xpath for the above issue?

Just simple snippet to get 2 result like the above explanation:

<div id="a">
    <div id="aa"></div> --target
    <div id="aaa"></div>
    <div id="aaaa"></div>
</div>

<div id="b"></div> --target
<div id="c"></div>

//*[@id='a']//*[@id='aa'] or //*[@id='b'] This XPath is not invalid - it returns boolean (true or false). But tools like Selenium might not support this syntax. I guess you need

//*[@id='a']//*[@id='aa'] | //*[@id='b']
