Hi,
That is indeed what Etags is likely to do. You can use C-u M-. to
keep jumping about till you find the specific definition you want.

The "senator" part of semantic has two "jump" functions defined.
There is "C-c , j" which is "local jump" within that file, and
"C-c , J" which lets you jump to symbols across multiple files. The
completion for the later is a little different and allows you to
"focus" on a specific definition that has the same name as other
symbols in other files.
As with most things in semantic, it will only identify symbols in
files Emacs has previously visited.
