12443	General get_ancestors() function	filosofo	filosofo	"`get_ancestors([object_id], [object_type])` returns an array of the ancestor objects, starting from closest in hierarchy to highest.

This would be helpful for determining general inheritance in themes and plugins.

For example:

{{{
if ( in_array(123, get_ancestors(456, 'page') ) ) {
   // highlight a menu item, or query a particular set of objects
}
