You can achieve desired result by using XMLTable() function:

select q.Lastname
     , q.Numberid
     , s.codeid
     , w.LoginId
     , q.address
  from t1 t
  left join xmltable('/begin/entry'
                      passing t.xml_col 
                      columns LastName   varchar2(21)  path 'lastname',
                              NumberId   number        path 'NumberList/number',
                              Address    varchar2(201) path 'address/addresslist',
                              CodeList   XmlType       Path 'NumberList/codelist/code',
                              Logins     XmlType       Path 'NumberList/login/user'
                      ) q
    on (1=1) 
  left join xmltable('/code'
                      passing q.CodeList
                      columns CodeId number path '.') s
    on (1=1)
  left join   xmltable('/user'
                        passing q.Logins
                        columns LoginId varchar2(11) path '.') w
    on (1=1)

Note: Working with Oracle releases prior to 11.2.0.2, you can encounter ORA-1780 error(bug 8545377) on certain types of XML queries when cursor_sharing parameter is set to FORCE or SIMILAR(deprecated starting from 11.2). Setting cursor_sharing parameter to EXACT(default value), will solve the problem.
