tl;dr - 

/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool?expandSubcollections=true&$select=fullPath,membersReference/items/session,membersReference/items/state,membersReference/items/fullPath

Since iControlRest is using odata, you can use the same (at least the parts that are implemented) format as other odata implementations. So, to get a nested item, you would delimiter each level with a 

/
(forward slash), thus getting something like 
membersReference/items/state
.

There is the 

$expand
option, but I don't know if it's implemented here (at least not in 11.5.3 from my experience)
