Hello,

I am looking for a function that starts at point and walks up the
outline-tree searching for property P. If P is defined the function
returns P's value, otherwise nil. If The top level headline does not
have a property P, the function looks for #+P between the first headline
and bob.

Is there something in org's code base that does this?

Regards,

  (org-entry-get (point) "P" t)

However, it will look for "#+PROPERTY: P val" instead, and it isn't
limited to data before first headline.
