Thanks you for your answer,

Yes I understand both perfectly. I think some people (like me) would like
to connect them, others would not want to bring them together.
But how to get the hierarchy (or the families) used by org agenda with a
function like "org-get-tags" ?

PS: sorry for the bad vocabulary, I followed the same name as the wiki, I
should have been more careful and given more details. Is my question clear
enough?
