Well, it looks like you're getting back matching elements (they
both have order='1' attributes).

Just add another predicate...

/Attribute[@Nasme='no']/value[@order='1'][@type='gif']

If you know the image-type, or something.

If you want the second one, then add a proximity predicate:

/Attribute[@Nasme='no']/value[@order='1'][2]

Should work...
