Does anyone know a good way to test if one element, stored in a var, is the child of another, also stored in a var?

I don't need element1.isChildOf('selector'), that's easy.
I need element1.isChildOf(element2)

element2.find(element1).size() > 0 Does not seem to work.

I don't want to have to write a plugin the uses .each to test each child if I can avoid it.
