---------------

    When Zope looks for names in the DTML namespace stack it first looks at
    the very top most object in the stack.  If the name can't be found
    there, then the next item down is looked in.  Zope will work its way
    down the stack, checking each object in turn until it finds the name
    that it is looking for.

       topmost

       Neither "very top most" (sic) or "topmost" say anything more than a simple "top"

       Look up *in* an object: Explain:
       Python objects have a namespace for their components ("__dict__" ?); also the name of the class the object
       was instantiated from; the classes namespace (classes are objects, too) contains the names of its parent
       classes.
       All these objects nested namespaces are looked up, and in that order!
