The method suggested by Brian works without any issues. :)

I thought this also should work without any issues. But when I ran the
debug shell to list out the attributes of INode using dir(INode) I
couldn't find the 'parent' and 'children' attributes in it. Even worse
part is, if there is another field say

                name = TextLine(title=u'Node name')
                
This 'name' attribute is also is not visible along with 'parent' and
'children' attributes.

Can someone explain why is this so?

(Even though the problem gets solved by Brian's method, just curious to
know)
