ParameterOrResultDecl has the required predicate:

from ParameterOrResultDecl d
select d.getEnclosingFunction()

The implementation can be found in AST.qll -- try ctrl/cmd-clicking in VS Code to navigate to the definition.

  /** Gets the innermost function definition to which this AST node belongs, if any. */
  FuncDef getEnclosingFunction() { result = this.getParent().parentInSameFunction*() }

TypeDecl similarly inherits getEnclosingFunction from ASTNode, so the same query will work with from TypeDecl d.

@smowton I think I was not able to explain my problem, What I want to do is

from TypeVariable tv,ParameterOrResultDecl d
where tv.getEnclosingParameterDecl()=d
select tv

I want to make sure that tv is a child of d. I don't want to know or worry about which child it is... it may be nested inside any amount of selector nodes.
So for all ast node structures like
ParameterDecl>SelectorExpression>SelectorExpression>MapTypeExpression>SelectorExpression>.....>TypeVariable I only want to worry about TypeVariables being enclosed in ParameterDecl/ResultDecl

We don't have TypeVariable in Golang, and I infer from ParameterOrResultDecl that we must be talking about QL for Golang? Could you give an example of some Go source code and what you want to identify?
