Well, I kinda solved it with a differnet approach.

Code follows:
[treeLevel = 3]
lib.curr_submenu = HMENU
lib.curr_submenu.special = browse
lib.curr_submenu.special.items = up
lib.curr_submenu.1 = TMENU
lib.curr_submenu.1.NO{
   wrap = |
   doNotLinkIt=1
}
[else]
lib.curr_submenu = TEXT
lib.curr_submenu{
  value={page:title}
  insertData=1
  wrap=|
}
[end]

As you can see I use Conditions to determine if I'm on the right level. This
works for me and can also be expanded with more levels.
