Well, sometimes objectItems or objectValues can be the right ones to use. Other times, (in Python Products at least) you use _getOb() to fetch the object for you.
Let's say you have this object structure:
/Folder1 /Folder2
If you (in Python code) have Folder1 in the namespace, as self for example, you can say object=self._getOb('Folder2'), and vòila. :) Don't know how you would do that in DTML, though.
