Not sure I got your point.
In proto.h, proto_tree_get_parent() is declared as taking a
proto_tree* and returning a proto_item*, so I interpret it
this way:
  proto_tree* X -> proto_item* Y -> proto_tree* Z
  then proto_tree_get_parent(Z) returns Y.
Where am I wrong?

Of course I am speaking from the "theoretical" and
future-compatible POV.
In the current practice the implementation of
proto_tree_get_parent() is pretty eloquent.
