      Thanks. That worked. 

I think I saw docs on aq_* methods, I'll look it up again.

How do I check if a particular object exists ONLY in the current folder
(the context) and is not being acquired?
The script I have is -
==================================
"""
Add single folder along with manager/user programmatically to current
folder Parameter: folderList (a list)
"""
curFolder = context #current context, where the user is
folderName = folderList[0]
folderTitle = folderList[1]
if not hasattr(curFolder, folderName):
    ## create the folder
    curFolder.manage_addFolder(folderName, folderTitle, 0, 1)
    return 1
else:
    return 0
I think you could make it work with :

  if folderName not in curFolder.objectIds():
    ...
or

  if not hasattr (curFolder.aq_explicit, folderName):
    ...

Not tested :-((
