[quote author="CtheB" date="1239550128"]Is MPPTREE a completed library or is it just me who thinks the most important methods are missing in this library?[/quote]
This library serves one purpose: Storing "Hieararchical trees in a (relational) database table".
Therefore it is not limited to saving navigation data but you can use it for each and every hierarchical data; so I don't think it's missing anything...

What you want to do is absolutely possible using MPTtree:
Have a look at the functions xpath and xpath2!
