No, I don't think so. Custom tags can know about child custom tags, because those tags can explicitly report data back to the custom tag, which can then receive it with CFASSOCIATE. But everything else just ends up generating content - your custom tag can read the generated content, of course, but that occurs after the tags have run. When the code between the opening and closing custom tags is running, the custom tag itself isn't running. The only way I can think of by which you might be able to do this, is through exception handling. Within an exception handler, you can reference the tag stack and information about each tag within the stack. Within your closing custom tag, you'd have to throw an exception, catch it, read the tag stack, and continue processing. I have no idea whether this will actually work, though.
