Access index of the parent ng-repeat from child ng-repeat

According to ng-repeat docs http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngRepeat, you can store the key or array index in the variable of your choice. (indexVar, valueVar) in values

so you can write

<div ng-repeat="(fIndex, f) in foos">
  <div>
    <div ng-repeat="b in foos.bars">
      <a ng-click="addSomething(fIndex)">Add Something</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

One level up is still quite clean with $parent.$index but several parents up, things can get messy.

Note: $index will continue to be defined at each scope, it is not replaced by fIndex.

My example code was correct and the issue was something else in my actual code. Still, I know it was difficult to find examples of this so I'm answering it in case someone else is looking.

<div ng-repeat="f in foos">
  <div>
    <div ng-repeat="b in foos.bars">
      <a ng-click="addSomething($parent.$index)">Add Something</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Take a look at my answer to a similar question.
By aliasing $index we do not have to write crazy stuff like $parent.$parent.$index.

Way more elegant solution whan $parent.$index is using ng-init:

<ul ng-repeat="section in sections" ng-init="sectionIndex = $index">
    <li  class="section_title {{section.active}}" >
        {{section.name}}
    </li>
    <ul>
        <li class="tutorial_title {{tutorial.active}}" ng-click="loadFromMenu(sectionIndex)" ng-repeat="tutorial in section.tutorials">
            {{tutorial.name}}
        </li>
    </ul>
</ul>
