Now that makes perfect sense to me and I can see why it happens as such. However what if I want (Context Before Containment). I fear, there is no simple solution.

You can follow the context chain with 'aq_parent'. Thus, you can implement your own lookup. However, you will need an external method 'hasItself' to check, when you found the binding you are looking for. def hasItself(object,attr): object= getattr(object,'aq_base',object) return hasattr(object,attr) Dieter
