Parent(node, tree)
Sister(node, tree)
MostRecentAncestor(tips, tree)

Arguments

`tree`	An object of type `phylo`, or alternatively an object of type `nodiv_data`
`node`	The internal node number of a focal node in the phylogeny
`all`	Give all node labels in order of occurrence. If FALSE, only non-empty node labels will be shown in alphabetical order
`tips`	The species to find the most recent common ancestor for
