A DicomIod class that contains adjacent item. If the item being deleted has a sibling (same level, same parent), following it, the returned class will be this sibling.

If the item being deleted is an only child, the returned class will be the parent.For an example, refer to Reset.

Please note that the numbering of the items of interest is arbitrary, and does not imply order.
