It's not actually a grouping problem, the following templates will
give the output you want:

<xsl:template match="list1">
  <step1>
    <xsl:value-of select="listitem"/>
  </step1>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="list2"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="list2">
  <step2>
    <xsl:value-of select="listitem"/>
  </step2>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="list3"/>
</xsl:template>

If the nesting depth is unknown you can modify that to be a single
template with name tests...
