Hi Johan, Have a look at http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/DumbZPatternsExample The best way I've found is to provide a method (or methods) in the Specialist of the contained item to get ids of those instances satisfying certain criteria... e.g., getToDoIdsForDoer( aDoer ) (the contained item keeps a reference to the id of its container.) -steve
