Here is a quick idea about how broadcast and emit work.

Notice the nodes below; all nested within node 3. You use broadcast and emit when you have this scenario.

Note: The number of each node in this example is arbitrary; it could easily be the number one; the number two; or even the number 1,348. Each number is just an identifier for this example. The point of this example is to show nesting of Angular controllers/directives.
