"class2" is looked up in this namespace.
The top element is asked first for "class2".
"class2" is found (by acquisition) from your "class1" Z instance
(called "i1"). Thus, what is actually called is

	(class2 __of__ i1).createInObjectManager(....)

"createInObjectManager" looks in "(class2 __of__ i1).aq_parent"
(this is "i1") for "_setObject".
Apparently, it does not find it there.
Then it looks at "i1.aq_parent" (this is the folder, "i1" is contained
in). There, it has success and creates the object.
