I think (s)he meant (guessing):

select="preceding::*[1][self::text] | parent::test1/*[1][generate-id(.) 
eq generate-id(current())]"

but the OP is pretty unclear about what he wants (can text node be named 
test1, can test1 be something else then a parent etc? What is the 
context node?) and fails to include his own tryouts.
