I’ve used the brilliant bimorph nodes package when dealing with linked elements, I definitely recommend checking it out.

hmm then we have to see your whole list structure but will think its about lacing and list level…does it work if you flatten your list before feed into element host node…  
btw which version are you in ?

I didn’t use this to find the host as such, instead I have to get the geometry of the relevant linked elements, and the geometry of all the wall in my model, and get the intersecting elements.  
Quite the workaround!
