Stupid solution I only see is
<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="name(child::*[1]) = 'a' and 							name(child::*[2]) = 'br' and 						 
name(child::*[3]) = 'a' and 							name(child::*[4]) = 'br' and 							name(child::*[5]) = 'a' and 						 
name(child::*[6]) = 'br' and
			and count(*) = 6">Ok</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>Error</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
