I know now that I did not understand what you meant...

To get the subfolders of a folder, you can use its "tpValues" method.

As as you like code: it looks like "folder.tpValues()".

We are on completely different wavelengths:

  I do not understand your questions because they are wrapped
  in (irrelevant) examples.

  An you do not understand my answer

   * first, because it is not an answer to your question as
     I did not correctly understood this

   * second, because I use abstract terms and hate examples larger
     than necessary.


Had you simply asked: how can I get the list of a folder's
subfolders, my answer would have been "folder.tpValues()"
and both of us could have been happy....
