Can you be a bit more explicit about what it is that you want to do?
eg.
hide H1 where next element does not have class 'fred'
or
hide DIV, H1 and H6 where first child is not (DIV.dynamo)
or
hide P, H1 thru H6 where next element is not (P.kiev) or is (P.kiev
having a child of A.hideme)
Then we can stop trying to second guess what it is that you need.
