Errr, won't DECL_CONTEXT do what you want?
From tree.h:
/*  For FIELD_DECLs, this is the
    RECORD_TYPE, UNION_TYPE, or QUAL_UNION_TYPE node that the field is
    a member of.  For VAR_DECL, PARM_DECL, FUNCTION_DECL, LABEL_DECL,
    and CONST_DECL nodes, this points to either the FUNCTION_DECL for 
the
    containing function, the RECORD_TYPE or UNION_TYPE for the 
containing
    type, or NULL_TREE if the given decl has "file scope".  */
#define DECL_CONTEXT(NODE) (DECL_CHECK (NODE)->decl.context)


DECL_CONTEXT on a contained function_decl should give you the 
containing function_decl (or NULL_TREE if it's not contained/is file 
scope), as the comment says.
Does it not work?
I haven't really been following till now.
