The social_icons field is never a sub repeater. It is always a top level repeater. I just want to be able to access that top level repeater from within a sub repeater.

So, at the moment my solution is

while(have_rows("custom_modules", "option")) { // Can also be not an options page
	the_row();
        // Some stuff
	while(have_rows("sub_modules")){
		the_row();
		$social_icons = get_field("social_icons", "options");
		if(count($social_icons)>0) { ?>
			<ul class="social-links">
				<?php foreach($social_icons as $icon){ ?>
					<li>
						<a href="<?=$icon['social_url'];?>"><i class="fa <?=$icon['social_icon'];?>" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
					</li>
				<?php } ?>
			</ul>
		<?php }
         }
}

In my initial post, there is something about the 2nd have_rows() which makes accessing the options page in the 3rd have_rows() break the code.
You can access a top level field on the options page from within a repeater selected from the options page.
For example, this works.

while(have_rows("test", "option")) {
	the_row();
	if(have_rows("social_icons", "option")) {
		while(have_rows("social_icons", "option")){
			the_row();
			the_sub_field('social_icon');
		}
	}
}

It selects social_icons from the top level, not as a sub field, and outputs the correct information.
