I guess you mean view "methodOne" and not attribute
which is registred as a page or view in ZCML. right?

Try this:

/++skin++B/path/to/obj/@@methodOne

probably it's not a good idea becaues you need to apply the
skin after the site root.

I think it's not a good Idea to call views from a different
skin in another skin. Or are you looking for a skin switcher?
There is a method called applySkin which will switch a skin

If you really need to do this, you can switch the skin call 
the method and switch the skin back in a python method registred 
as a view.

I recommend to register the two different methods under 
different names if you don't use a "skin switcher".
