When someone sends a payment to my address, I need to find their primary address, the one they control. But it's obscured by all the output/input addresses. I can't figure out which address is the one they control. How do I find that?
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

you should ask the sender of the transaction.
Sometimes they can send it with an address they don't control, like as an mtgox withdrawal, or from another exchanger...
Safest is to ask.

I am guessing you are trying to work out where to send funds back to (most likely for the purpose of some sort of gambling game) - the short answer is that you *cannot* determine this as the protocol doesn't have such information.

If you want to be able to reliably send money *back* to an address you should ask the user/player to provide a "payment" address.
