Assuming this is config, the data model is not quite correct - the
list lacks a key.  So if we do:

    container users {
      list user {
        key name;
        leaf name { ...}
        container basic {
           leaf type {...}
           leaf full-name { ... }
        }
        leaf role { ... }
      }
    }

Then the filter:

    <users>
       <user>
         <name>fred</name>
         <basic>
            <type/>
            <full-name/>
         </basic>
         <role/>
       </user>
     </users>

will return the type, full-name, and role of "fred", if they exist,
which is what you want.

However, the filter:

    <users>
       <user>
         <basic>
            <type/>
            <full-name>Fred Flintstone</full-name>
         </basic>
         <role/>
       </user>
     </users>

will return the role of *all* users, and the type of Fred.
