Daniel, the xml text above is not well formed, so I used the following:

<top>
  <aaa key="abc">
   <cc/>
   <cc/>
  </aaa>
  <aaa key="cde">
   <cc/>
   <cc/>
  </aaa>
</top>

The results you want can be obtained using the following XPath expression:

(//cc)[position()=$k]/../@key

where $k will have some value ranging from 1 to count(//cc)

Cheers,
