Thanks Christophe. 

I used your suggestion.

It's currently not supported: "Curve Loops" and "Surface Loops" can not be queried - only point, curves, surfaces and volumes.

As a workaround, use a list to create your curve loop, and use that list instead. If the surface is given to you (e.g. from a STEP file) and you didn't create it explicitly with a curve loop, you can use the "Boundary" operator to extract the curves on its boundary.
