Assuming that <four> is a subelement of <three>
(i.e., <four> is under <three>), the following
should work:

       <xsl:template match="seven1">
               <topvalue>
                      <xsl:apply-templates select="../../../.." />
               </topvalue>
       <xsl:template>

Hope this helps.
