Yeah holy cow, I meant , not . It's a strange edge case, I'm
sure even wanting to do such a thing most of the time might indicate
poor design. I'm injecting UI into arbitrary pages and want to style
it without damaging the host page. Because of the way my style
extension works, dynamic rules are applied in the context of each
newly created element, essentially calling .is() on the element
and .find() if .is() doesn't match, applying rules. Setting up my
rules in the form #div-which-contains-all-my-stuff h1 is what
tripped me up; until the possible 1.3 .is() upgrade, classes will have
to do. Thanks!

Following your logic, an L4 element will never be a direct child of an
L1, so that would always return 0. Also you don't need two objects to
do what you were trying at first, you can do $('some thing',
'#inhere')
Let me see if I understand you. Given the following mark-up:
body
div class=L1
p
span class=L3
a class=L4 /
/span
/p
/div
div class=L1 thisOne
p
span class=L3 other
a class=L4 /
/span
/p
/div
/body
You want to find only the a (4) elements that are children of div
(1) AND children of span(3). Right. L4 is not a direct children of
L1 so you need another approach.
$('span.other a').filter(function(){ return !!$
(this).parents('div').length })
which equates to
$('L3.other L4').filter(function(){ return !!$
(this).parents('L1').length })
or, if what you want is the opposite, to find a's in span that are
also a child of div
$('span a').filter(function(){ return !!$
(this).parents('div.thisOne').length })
which equates to
$('L3 L4').filter(function(){ return !!$
(this).parents('L1').length }) // returns true if the element is a
child of L1
There are many ways of simplifying that based on your element classes
or attributes, but that's all I could come up with without seeing your
HTML.

You're right, I do that all the time :). I'm getting my side effects
mixed up. What I can't actually do is match against ancestors of the
context. For example, $( .L1.L4, $( .L3 ) ), where the n
represents the level of DOM depth.

Have you tried those?
There's no reason why
$( pa, $( div ) );
wouldn't find all a that are direct descendants of p tags inside
div tags

If there's a way, what would it take to be able to use complex
selectors (those with , ~, , etc.) with filtering functions.
For example,
$( div ).find( pa );
$( pa, $( div ) );
