I was working on the [maybe false] assumption that the nodes get created at some point with all the necessary information available, and it's later on when the nodes are referenced that he will want to know to which treeview they belong.

If, on the other hand, he has a node creation funcion and wants to know the treeview as the node is being created, then yes, some other mechanism is required. It seems to me, in that case, that the simplest way is to feed the node creation method a parameter representing the treeview.
