Preceding-subling XSL

Summary What will happen if we try to access the preceding-sibling in a ?

I have the following XML File: group 1 item one item two item three item four group 2 item one item two item three I would like to know the preceding-sibling of each item and I want to process the item based on the preceding-sibling. I can't use preceding::sibling inside or though, following::sibling will work fine in that case. Solution might be to check for the last() node in case of preceding::sibling. I have given the XSL code snippet below.

Additional information
<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" /> <xsl:template match="/o/home"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item"> <xsl:if test="name((preceding-sibling::*)[last()~)='group'">. sss </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

Further additional information
<?xml version="1.0"?> <o> <home> <group>group 1</group> <item>item one</item> <item>item two</item> <item>item three</item> <item>item four</item> <group>group 2</group> <item>item one</item> <item>item two</item> <item>item three</item> </home> </o>
