For this (and that!) xpath is your friend.
$string = <<<XML
<a>
<b>
<c>text</c>
<c>stuff</c>
</b>
<d>
<c>code</c>
</d>
</a>
XML;
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($string);
/* Search for <a><b><c> */
$result = $xml->xpath('/a/b/c');
while(list( , $node) = each($result)) {
echo '/a/b/c: ',$node,"\n";
}
/* Relative paths also work... */
$result = $xml->xpath('b/c');
while(list( , $node) = each($result)) {
echo 'b/c: ',$node,"\n";
}

When all else fails, and #xml, ##php and #drupal-support come up empty...ask the folks who actually code :)
I have an xml structure that has
<this>
<that parm1="a" parm2="b" parm3="c">red</that>
<that parm1="e" parm2="f" parm3="d">blue</that>
</this>
I've tried simplexml and a few third-party scripts, one that loads the xml into an associative array rather than an object, and nothing lets me get at 'red' or 'blue'. When I use dsm() on the results, for example, in the case of the object with simplexml I get only one 'that' and do not get its contents. When I use the script that creates the array, I get both that's, and all their parms as elements, but not the colors.
I'm curious what else people are using.
