Re: Is there a better way to get a single element?

Ok I see what you're trying to do. Only problem is you need a way to order the elements and also I don't think you can get to the elements w/o first doing a get_elements('something') call. Then you can use get_value() on the returned elements to render them.
See docs for advanced templates here: http://bricolagecms.org/docs/devel/api/Bric/AdvTemplates.html
