I don't know if you are aware of mxmRelations which is allready working. 
  It is at http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/productList/mxmRelations and 
takes a slightly different approach that has a few advantages over the 
approach Andy describes.

Mainly that the relationtype is not defined when doing the relation, but 
by the object holding the relation, like in the following example:

mxmRelations:

relations.student_class.relate(self, classes)

Andys:

student_class = 42
relations.relate(self, classes, student_class)
