You should look up the contrib module ltree which is made for this

any item at any level.

I highly recommend it.

Ah, one of those modules I still need to investigate. It looks promising.

Can it do networked structures? That'd be kind of hard with an index on a path when a node can have multiple parent nodes, I figure...
