You can simply use Parent property of your control used for content function. First parent will be a content area of layout, next parent - layout itself:

 // Content area of layout
var contentArea = Parent as ExtensionContentArea;

// Your layout function, don't forget to check for null
var layout = contentArea.Parent as MyLayoutFunction;
