[support] Showing Just Immediate Parent

[Seth Freach]

Chris,

A hierarchical taxonomy vocab might be a different way to solve your 
issue.  Consider using tags and the relationships between them instead 
of a CCK field.  Then, in Views you can define relationships based on 
parent terms (among other things that Views will do w/ taxonomy out of 
the box).  Some of the posts in http://groups.drupal.org/taxonomy may be 
relevant.
