I don't understand your point ?

On:
     Camptocamp Holding
         Camptocamp CH
         Camptocamp FR
             Joel

If I do a claim for C2C CH, this claim does NOT belong to C2C holding. It's
normal that, on claim_ids for C2C Holding, I do not have the claim to
C2C CH.
What I said is that we have a UI feature in the web client allowing to get
claims of Camptocamp Holding and all it's subsidiaries.

IMHO, the behaviour is the same for Joël and Camptocamp.

Child_of is just a UI tool for searching inside a whole company or group.
Even if you want to develop a UI tool that has the same feature than the
web client, you do not need to implement child_of, you just pass a domain
with child_of in your RPC call.
