We have searched for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $$Lambda_c^+tophi p pi^0$$ in $$e^+e^-$$ collisions using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 915 fb$$^{-1}$$. The data were collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $$e^+e^-$$ asymmetric-energy collider running at or near the $$Upsilon(4S)$$ and $$Upsilon(5S)$$ resonances. No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit on the branching fraction of $$B(Lambda_c^+tophi p pi^0) < 15.3 times 10^{-5}$$ at 90% confidence level. The contribution of nonresonant $$Lambda_c^+to K^+K^- p pi^0$$ decays is found to be consistent with zero, and the corresponding upper limit on its branching fraction is set to be $$B(Lambda_c^+to K^+K^- p pi^0)_{rm NR} < 6.3 times 10^{-5}$$ at 90% confidence level. We also search for an intermediate hidden-strangeness pentaquark decay $$P_s^+ to phi p$$. We see no evidence for this intermediate decay and set an upper limit on the product branching fraction of $$B(Lambda_c^+to P_s^+ pi^0)times B(P_s^+ to phi p) < 8.3 times 10^{-5}$$ at 90% confidence level. Finally, we measure the branching fraction for the Cabibbo-favored decay, $$Lambda_c^+to K^-pi^+ p pi^0$$; the result is $$B(Lambda_c^+to K^-pi^+ p pi^0)= (4.42pm 0.05 ({rm stat}) pm 0.12({rm syst}) pm 0.16 ({rm norm}))%$$, which is the most precise measurement to date.
