No that would be completely possible if I was generating a menu for sub 
page to the backpid page. But what I'm trying to do is generate a menu 
of parent pages (and possible sub pages).

So for instance if it was a bread crumb navigation I would get the event 
title based upon other variables and then using the backpid and 
php/mysql generate a rootline and and then prepend the rootline menu to 
the event title. As I say that would be obviously easy to do for a 
rootline. But the problem is what to do when it's not a 
breadcrumb/rootline menu, but the navigation on the left hand side?

That menu needs to have all the parent, grandparent, great-grandparent 
pages and then depending upon what level it sits in the page tree it 
might then also have children.

Does that make sense?
