In short, you can't. There are some good reasons for this -- Maven does not require nor expect that you are always building all modules in a project, so its not necessarily true that ${project.home} or ${parent.parent.parent} style references will always refer to anything useful. You could just as easily be building only one of the sub-sub-submodules of a parent, and not have any other files from the project checked out of SCM.
Why don't you tell us more specifics about what you want to do, and perhaps there is a better way to achieve the same goals using a Maven-friendly technique.
