Access to top-level configuration tree in Excalibur?

[John E. Collins]

I have an application that builds an arbitrarily complex dependency graph among small analysis modules at runtime, using a a Configuration derived from the XML configuration file. Most of the modules are not Excalibur components, but are managed by a component, so all but the leaves of the graph are accessible through that component's Configuration. But there are other components, the leaves of the graph, that are separate Excalibur components, and whose dependencies are expressed in their individual Configuration trees. We want to make the configuration visible and modifiable at runtime, which requires access to the top-level configuration tree. I can get the configuration tree for the individual components, but I cannot see how to get the top-level tree. Is there such a thing? Is it available in any useful way?

Any suggestions would be welcome.
