Depends on whether the original method comes from a ZClass or product. 
If so, yes.  But if it's a regular object that's marked as replaceable
and it's replaced, the original will vanish.

No.  DTML will never have access to the replaced method.

I don't understand your first question, but the answer to the second is
"yes" regardless. :-)  You would set index_html.__replaceable__ =
ObjectManager.UNIQUE .
