Thank you for your help.

I had the same thought, to move the child element to the same level as you suggested but I�m not sure I can do it. I�m using a large XML file and this condition happens all the time.
Reading the Structure Application Developer�s Guide (page 135) I understand that I can declare a sibling this way:

Element (Container): p_content
  Text format rules
   If context is: {before p_variation}
   Text range.
   Use character format: sec_var

This routine does not work at all.
I guess the reason is because siblings must be at the same level, as you said

P_AREA
   p_content
      p_variation

if I move p_variation to the same level as p_content:

P_AREA
   p_content
   p_variation

it works fine.
Is it correct? Siblings are elements that must be at the same level?

Another way could be a routine at the p_variation that tests if there is the anscestor p_content and if true apply the char format to the ancestor p_content. Is there a way to apply a char/parag format to an ancestor?
