Is there a CSS parent selector?

Say you have:

----------
    X
----------
    Y -> Z

Given Z is children of Y, i want to select all X which have a sibling that has a child Z

Please edit - you seem to have the wrong variable letters in the description or code. — Aaron Fowler, Oct 30 '12 at 17:56

You cannot select a parent element in CSS based upon the child and sibling elements...so there's no way you can get this done...

So there's no CSS parent selector yet..

In CSS4 Specification I remember there was something like $ kind of thing but it was rejected later

There is currently no way to select the parent of an element in CSS That is why it is impossible to select sibling that has a child Z.
