        var bar = foo.get('/foo/bar/baz');
        var page = bar.get('/');

get() accepts relative: something/relative and absolute: /an/absolute/path subpaths

        var foo = scriptContext.getParent();
        console.log(foo.get(scriptContext.label) === scriptContext) // true

getOwner()

Get object that logically owns a scriptContext

If scriptContext is a part of a master then it will get a reference to a closest master.
Otherwise it will get the page object.

        console.log(scriptContext.path) // /master-instance-1/dynamic-panel-1/bar
        var foo = scriptContext.getOwner();
        console.log(foo.path) // /master-instance-1
        console.log(foo.getOwner() === scriptContext.page) // true
