the parent node if the current node is its first child, and the preceding sibling, if the current node is not the first child of its parent.
Which reads the following in XPath:

( parent::*[1]|preceding-sibling::*[1] )[last()]

Nice shortcut! I like it much better than my original solution (which looks awkward with generate-id). The predicate [1] is not needed on parent::, it always returns one node.

The OP wanted to test for 'test1' or 'text' nodes, which, when added to your solution, becomes:

(parent::* | preceding-sibling::*[1] )[last()][self::test1 | self::text]
