Well I have an XML document which has several <DEFCONCEPT> elements. 
Each of these elements contain certain <CHILD> sub-elements of the form 
below:

<DEFCONCEPT id="123" name="abc">
   <CHILD ref="567">abcChild</CHILD>
</DEFCONCEPT>

<DEFCONCEPT id="567" name="abcChild">
   <CHILD ref="890">abcGrandChild</CHILD>
</DEFCONCEPT>

<DEFCONCEPT id="890" name="abcGrandChild"/>

How could I then place conditions when processing this XML doc such that 
it continues searching for a <CHILD> element until it finds  
'abcGrandChild' ?

I thought perhaps a single statement could loop until the condition 
becomes 'true' which is obviously not in lines with declarative
programming. How else is it then possible?

Thanks
