hard to tell from your question as: ("../something" , something else) is just two arguments.

 

One example might be:

 

centroid("../null1", D_X)

 

in which case your getting the x component of the centroid of the geometry in "../null1"

 

 

This is commonly used in an add sop to fill in each component of the created point's position like:

centroid("../null1", D_X)     centroid("../null1", D_Y)     centroid("../null1", D_Z)

So you will have a point which represents the centroid of whatever geometry is fed into "../null"

 

 

Maybe look at the sidefx expression docs or use exhelp in the textport for more info
