```
    Create an iterator over the ancestor or ancestor-or-self axis
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the initial context node
    
    includeSelf - true if the "self" node is to be included

    Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
    
    Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator.
    
    Specified by:
    
    next in interface AxisIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    next in interface SequenceIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.
