Using XPath 3:
[snip]
Given a starting node, e.g., the root node (but could be any node in the
hierarchy) I need to find the first titled "child" nodes, so given the
chapter node I need to find S1 and S2 but not S3.
If you meant:
<root>
<chapter><title>C1</title>
<wrapper>
<wrapper>
<section><title>S1</title>
</section>
</wrapper>
<section><title>S2</title>
<section><title>S3</title>
</section>
</section>
</wrapper>
</chapter>
</root>
then
//descendant::*[self::section][title][not(ancestor::*[self::section][title])]
will give you the first titled element of the type you're looking for.
You'll need to put the actual values for "foo" and "bar" in where there's a
predicate for [self::section]; [self:foo or self::bar]
