 * Hi,
 * i have this structure:
 * HighestParentPage (id:4)
    — SubPage (id:5) — SubPage (id:6) — — SubSubPage (id:
   7) — — SubSubPage (id:8) — — — SubSubSubPage (id:9)
 * How can i retrieve the id of the HighestParentPage (id:4) when i am in ChildPage
   SubSubPage with id:8 ?? So two layers deeper.

 * $current = $post;
    //while has parent while($current->post_parent) { $current
   = get_post($current->post_parent); } // $current should have the top most parent
