When passing parameters between Families /Instances, I know that:
1. I can associate a Type Parameter of a specific Family instance to an "external" parameter.
2. How to set Type parameters to global values.
But other than the above is it possible to:
3. >>automatically<< access a value of the HOST, without having to associate it every time? For example being able to constrain a window relative to the top of the hosting wall?
4. Have the HOST access a value of the embedded Family? For example have a window or curtain-wall access the size of a panel type?
Any help here would be great. Even just a link of something to read about data-transfer.

Not clear what you are trying to do, but you cannot constrain a window relative to the top of the hosting wall without some gymnastics. Why would you want to anyways? Also, Nested Family Parameters can be associated to Host Parameters - not vice versa.
RE: being able to constrain a window relative to the top of the hosting wall (in Project).
Would Global Parameters get you to where you want to go? Not a lot of complicated gymnastic moves necessary for that.
Let's say that I wanted a custom window that would always end 40 cm from the top of the wall (like Sill height, only for the top), regardless of how high the wall was. So I don't think a Global Parameter would help.
Wouldn't this still require to set this up for EVERY window (or set of windows)? That duplication of effort is what I'm trying to avoid.
