So this is the structure I have.

<% control StoreProducts %>
  <% if Variants %>
    <tr class="$EvenOdd"> // Shows what I want it to
      <td><h4>$Title</h4></td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="<% if totalVariantsForTable == 2 %>last <% end_if %>first $EvenOdd"> // Shows what I want it to
    <% control Variants %>
    <% if Active %>
      <% if First %><% else %>
        <tr class="$FirstLast $EvenOdd"> // What do I do here?
      <% end_if %>
      <td>$Name</td>
    </tr>
    <% end_if %>
    <% end_control %>
  <% end_if %>
<% end_control %>

So basically I'm trying to get EvenOdd's that are all the same, so basically the EvenOdd value of the StoreProducts DataObjectSet. How would I access StoreProducts when its inside a control (and a couple if's)?

I thought $Top would be the answer, but not to be. Any thoughts guys?

I had exactly this problem too - and unfortunately it isn't straightforward to solve. There is currently no way to access that parent without breaking the loop, so I came up with a patch for SSViewer that gave you a new <% parent %> tag. See http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/4751 for info and a patch you can apply.
