The neighbour(s)(count) functions are all for points. Is there a way to do the same thing for primitives? …or do I have to start by finding point neibours and… (*jumps through hoops) …find the primitives a few line of code later?

Ah!

So, instead of running over primitives I ran over points with this. The trick was to use the pointprims function and the len function to see what point was connected to more than one primitive:

int ptprims[] = pointprims(0, @ptnum);

i@group_needsstairs = 0;
if(len(ptprims) >= 2)
    {
    foreach(int currentprim; ptprims)
        {
        setprimgroup(0, "needsstairs", currentprim, 1, "set");
        }
    }

in case you want polys that share an edge with a given or current poly you can use
i[]@primnbrs = polyneighbours(0, @primnum);
