Yes, that was it - ".special = directory" was what I was looking for.

Now I'm able to render a dynamic menu out of any part of the tree... but 
only the first menu defined renders. Perhaps I make a stupid mistake - 
but I can't figure out where. Am I overriding one menu with another? Where?

These are my TOP and BOTTOM menus - they are essentially the same, only 
special.value.<MENU>.special.value differs. With this sequence (TOPMENU 
first, BOTTOMMENU second) only TOPMENU renders. If I switch them 
(BOTTOMMENU first), only BOTTOMMENU renders.

What did I miss here?


subparts.TOPMENU = HMENU
subparts.TOPMENU.special = directory
subparts.TOPMENU.special.value = 2
subparts.TOPMENU.1 = GMENU
subparts.TOPMENU.1.expAll = 1

subparts.TOPMENU.1.NO {

     XY = [5.w],[5.h]
     5 = IMAGE
     5.file = fileadmin/images/menu-top.png
     10 = TEXT
     10.text.field = title
## cutting irrelevant settings ##
}


subparts.BOTTOMMENU = HMENU
subparts.BOTTOMMENU.special = directory
subparts.BOTTOMMENU.special.value = 3
subparts.BOTTOMMENU.1 = GMENU
subparts.BOTTOMMENU.1.expAll = 1

subparts.BOTTOMMENU.1.NO {

     XY = [5.w],[5.h]
     5 = IMAGE
     5.file = fileadmin/images/menu-top.png
     10 = TEXT
     10.text.field = title
## cutting irrelevant settings ##
}
