I think this is because index_html is a dtml document. Try replacing
it with a dtml method.

A DTML Document has its own properties, it is not treated as
a simple method call at the place where you call it. Names are looked up
first in the Document itself, then acquired *by containment first*,
then finally by context. So "Otherthing" would be checked only after
index_html's containment path.

On the other hand, DTML Methods have no properties of their own.
They are treated as methods of the calling context. So "Otherthing"
would be checked first.
