yes but if you use the 'packages' grouping you would not require to pass 
all those entries to a single query.

well, nope.
But I'm not sure that a recursive query that searches into parents scope 
can be written. That's why the cxxparser was written, to give an help in 
these kind of situations.

@IANJUTA_SYMBOL_QUERY_SEARCH_PARENT_SCOPE: Query to get the parent scope 
of a symbol.

This query isn't really easy to calculate, and thinking to put the 
procedures to search the parents recursively is hard.
