get_child_by_name_recurse

Looks up a child element by the given full-path name.

Similar to get_child_by_name, this method searches and returns a child given a name. The difference is that this method allows a hierarchical path in the form of child1::child2::child3. In the later example this method would return a reference to child3, if found. The name should be made of element names only and should not contain any property names.

Parameters:

this	the parent object to get the child from
name	the full-path child's name

Returns:

the child object or null if not found.
