Tried to find documentation, but failed.

Tried this:

    local relationTable = xml.all(viewFromXML,"/connection")
    for i=#relationTable, 1, -1 do
      connectionFromXML = relationTable[i]
      parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
    end

but it fails as well.
