[Zope-dev] objects that don't acquire from themselves?

I'm trying to write a zope object that has two characteristics: 1. it is an ObjectManager, and has a collection of methods as children, 2. it acts as a document, and uses methods with the same name as its children. However, no matter from where the object is referenced (either directly or from somewhere else in the object tree by acquisition), I don't want the object to use its own child method definitions: either is acquires the methods from somewhere else or the references should fail. Is there a canonical way of doing this? Thanks. Michael Halle mhalle@bwh.harvard.edu
