In the following XSL the value for the maximum of Atrr1 is used retreive the 
same Items node for all the other variables to be assigned.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />
	<xsl:template match="/Parent">
		<xsl:variable name="Var1">
			<xsl:for-each select="Items">
				<xsl:sort select="@Atrr1" order="descending" data-type="number" />
				<xsl:if test="position()=1">
					<xsl:value-of select="@Atrr1"/>
				</xsl:if>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="Var2" select="Items[@Atrr1=$Var1]/@Atrr2" />
		<xsl:variable name="Var3" select="Items[@Atrr1=$Var1]/@Atrr3" />
		<xsl:variable name="Var4" select="Items[@Atrr1=$Var1]/@Atrr4" />
		<xsl:variable name="Var5" select="Items[@Atrr1=$Var1]/@Atrr5" />
		<xsl:variable name="Var6" select="Items[@Atrr1=$Var1]/@Atrr6" />		
		<result a1="{$Var1}" a2="{$Var2}" a3="{$Var3}" a4="{$Var4}" a5="{$Var5}" 
a6="{$Var6}" />
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
