Debugger does. Suspend, then maximize the locals (or watch) window and zero in onto your object, expand it to find its children etc. You can take your drawing from there.

I actually used my recurser class (available here in downloads) for such snapshots - the output from the test routine is pretty much an indented structure that should show you the, ahem, genealogy (i.e. who's a parent of what, at least).
