Actually what you need is something like this
<div ex:role="collection" ex:itemTypes="Person"></div>
<div ex:role="collection"
ex:baseCollectionID="default"
ex:expression=".family"></div>
Define the default collection and then tie the other collections to it
using ex:expression. That's presuming that your data looks something
like this:
{ type: "Person",
label: "Homer Simpson",
family: "The Simpson Family",
...
}
...
{ type: "Family",
label: "The Simpson Family",
...
}
