Positioning elements in relation to their parent container is key

I'm exploring the idea of positioning content after an absolutely positioned div that is nested within a relatively positioned div, without knowing the height of the relative div.

Essentially, I have set up the following structure ...

<div style="position:relative">
    <div style="position:absolute; top:0; left:100;">
    <div style="position:absolute; top:100; left:100;">
<div>

(...and I want to place content here)

As the height of the relative div is uncertain and dynamic, I am unable to set it in the container's CSS.

I have prepared a jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/o7k2dpdz/) to demonstrate my goal. I have arbitrarily set the height to 500px, but I aim to eliminate this dependency for the solution to still function effectively.
