I'm not sure, but I think the OP needs "ancestor::para[1]/...",
doesn't it?
Not if there's only one (which seems likely). Even if there's more
than one, when ancestor::para/docBase is turned into a string, the
value of the first such element in document order is taken.
In XPath 2.0 you could get an error for relying on this, however,
since in 2.0 a sequence of more than one node can't be converted into
a string. There, you might be better off forcing it to be the first,
as in (ancestor::para/docBase)[1].
