Scripting question - remove duplicate references from selection

I have a script that I want to (revise to) write a user option into. Basically, when multi-selecting a set of points, I want to have the option of finding where the selected points are used, so as to delete duplication of geometry at that location. (by omitting it from the selection before a reference is created) My first thought was to search the existing geometry, and return the (point) children to an index. If the child element was present in both the selection index, and the search index, then it would be omitted. Easy enough to do, in concept.

Searching the desired geometry is easy, as it is named by a previous portion of the script. (I'm not searching every line in the whole model) Only problem is, I can't find a method by which to return a value for child geometry used in my line creation.

Any help is appreciated.
