Could elaborate more on what you mean?

Say you want to select immediate child of the scope root element.

<div>
   <div id=scopeRoot>
     <div>
        <div></div>
     </div>
   </div>
</div>

Then you would write is as:

   scopeRoot.selectChild(" > div", scopedLookup = true );

or

   scopeRoot.selectChild(":root > div", scopedLookup = true );

Is this what you mean?
