Counting subordinate structure elements

[Michael Piotrowski]

Hi,

it's me again.  Has anybody an idea how one could count subordinate structure 
elements?  What I mean is the following;  suppose you have a document 
structured 
like this:

Section 1             -> 2
  Subsection 1        -> 0
  Subsection 2        -> 1
    Subsubsection 1   -> 0
Section 2             -> 0

Then I'd like to get the numbers right of the arrows for each of the elements.  
I figure this should be possible using the cross-references mechanisms, but I 
can't think of a way of doing this.

Any help appreciated--thanks in advance
