You can just do manual counts if it would be more efficient, here is an example for use in a controller function (ie control):

		$item = $this->dataRecord;
		$level = 0;
		// 10 is just a limit to prevent endless loops, increase as needed
		while($item && $level < 10) {   
			$item = $item->Parent;
			$level++;
		}

Ah, sorry about that. Silverstripe's Hierarchy provides this:

Model:
$firstChild = $this->Children()->First();

Controller:
$firstChild = $this->dataRecord->Children()->First();

Hi,

I resolved question 2 with:

<% control Children %>
<% control Children %>
											    
										
		<% if First %>
		<div class="fright-imm-prod-table alignright">
                                                <a href="$Link" >$Image1.Thumbnail</a>
                 </div>
											 
		<% end_if %>
											
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>

Bye
