[Zope] stuck on accessing ZSQL methods across folder hierary

[Brad Allen]

Yes, I have looked at the Acquisition section of the Zope book, but 
it looks like Acquisition works through containment. What if you're 
trying to access an object sideways across the folder hierarchy? In 
this case, my DTML document lives in /kc/Pages/ and I want to sidle 
across to /kc/bizlogic/product/diamond. I'm able to do that easily 
with Zope scripts using <dtml-var 
expr="kc.bizlogic.product.diamond.whateverscript">, but what about 
doing this with ZSQL methonds and dtml-in?
