Hi Marcin,

I ran into this problem once; the solution I found was to just walk up
the AST via org-export-get-parent until you run out of parents.

Something like this should work (untested, and probably needs to be
tweaked, as my Elisp is a little rusty):

(defun find-depth (element)
  "Find the depth of a (list) element during export."
  (let ((parent (org-export-get-parent element)))
     (case (org-element-type parent)
       ('item (1+ (find-depth parent)))
       ('plain-list (find-depth (org-export-get-parent parent)))
       (t 1))))

Hope that helps!

Best,
Richard
