why I thought "ancestor::$parentvar[2]".

Well, that's what's wrong with it - it isn't a valid XPath.
You made up the
syntax, and I've no idea what you thought it might mean. The
thing after the
"::" should be a node test, which says what kind of nodes you
want to
select, e.g. "foo" to select foo elements, or "*" to select all
elements.

Perhaps you meant $parentvar/ancestor::*[2]? I've no idea, I can
only guess.
