This question isn't really to do with developing Zope, and so should be 
asked on Zope@zope.org rather than zope-dev@zope.org.

I'll give you a clue as to the answer :-)

CAN and BOTTLE are both specialized forms of CONTAINER.


Oh, and if you're thinking of using inheritence with ZClasses... well, I 
recommend you don't. Use a Python base class instead. Michel P. and 
Chris McD. describe how in the "zope developers' guide", which is very 
good, and available somewhere on zope.org.
