Refreshing repeat controls

 I have a situation where I have a set of nested repeat controls. What I would like to do is be able to refresh only selected parts of the repeat controls after dismissing a dialog box. I can specify the element to be refreshed as a parameter in the hide method of a dialog box like so:

dialog1.hide("repeat1");

where dialog1 is the component name of the dialog box and repeat1 is the component name of the repeat control to be refreshed.

If I refresh the top level, then all subordinate levels are refreshed. If I refresh the second level then only the first occurrence of the level 2 repeat control is refreshed. Likewise, if if I refresh the third level, then only the first occurrence of the third level is refreshed.

There seems to be no obvious way to refresh, say, only the second level repeat controls or the third level repeat controls. Does anyone understand this behaviour?
