That means each <view>-element can contain an undefined
number of other <view>s. What I want to know is whether the
parent of a <view> - if it is also the view - is the last one.
By "the last one" I assume you mean that it has no following siblings?
Then you want:
<xsl:if test="parent::view[not(following-sibling::view)]">
