Maybe sth. like this would do:

<counted_element count=3>
        <child>1>/child>
        <child>2>/child>
        <child>3>/child>
</counted_element>

or similar. Besides making the count an attribute of the root node of
counted elements you could simply use a standard pascal loop:

n: XMLNode;

{ this is only pseude code ... }
while (xmldoc.hasMoreChilds()) do begin
        n := getChild();
        ... process n ...
end:

For real code http://wiki.freepascal.org/XML_Tutorial mwill help.
