Anyone want to take a stab at this one? I pulled it out of my lilac hedge. It gets to about 8 feet tall, then falls and roots on the ground along its branches, and sends up new shoots from there. It likes the shade.

I found it - it's probably green ash. Thanks anyway!

Sorry, should have told you I'm in Maine and the stem is an inch in diameter. I really believe it's ash.

Here is what it is not: A green ash (a common tree) or Virginia creeper (a common groundcover or building vine).
A Virginia creeper, especially can thrive in full sun. And it has beautiful glossy, dark green leaves.
When I saw the berries and looked at the leaves and the stem, my first inclination was that it was some sort of dogwood.

P.S. Nor is it poison ivy or poison oak.

Cornus alternifolia - Pagoda Dogwood, The rank growth is from competing with your lilac, if it was on it's own it would look more true to form. RScott

Below might be the best answer...........
.................Poision Ivy...........................
"Leaves of Three"
http://mdc.mo.gov/conmag/2005/03/50.htm
Poison ivy can be a woody shrub or a vine. As a shrub, it can grow about 6 feet high. As a vine, it can climb 40 feet up a tree.
The best way to distinguish poison ivy from other plants is to look at its leaves and tendrils.
......Poison oak also has three leaflets.
Each has a rounded tip and resembles an oak leaf. Unlike poison ivy, both sides of all three leaflets of poison oak have distinct notches.

it looks like a vine called virginia creeper. especially if it has alot of runners --if it is it will turn reds and orange in the fall and drop its leaves.
