Hi Deepak, Though I guess there are ways to test whether a certain element exists within a parent using cts function, it certainly doesn't provide features to count occurences of a child within a particular parent. To gather these parents or its children, you will still need an xpath expression of some kind.
I guess that a call to xdmp:unpath, xdmp:value, or xdmp:eval is your best bet. This does require additional privileges. You can find the description of all three of these function on this page: http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.0/apidocs/Extension.html You could also resort to something like: //*[local-name() = 'BB'][count(*[local-name() = 'zz']) > 2] but that must be a performance killer..
