Try something like:

**XML**
<DOCUMENT>
	<TAG1>something</TAG1>
	<TAG2>something</TAG2>
	<TAG3>
		<TAG4>something</TAG4>
	</TAG3>
</DOCUMENT>


**XSL**
<xsl:if test="DOCUMENT[TAG1 = TAG2]">
	<!-- do something -->
</xsl:if>

or

<xsl:if test="DOCUMENT[TAG1 = TAG3/TAG4]">
	<!-- do something -->
</xsl:if>
