Yes, I have looked at the Acquisition section of the Zope book, but it looks like Acquisition works through containment. What if you're trying to access an object sideways across the folder hierarchy? In this case, my DTML document lives in /kc/Pages/ and I want to sidle across to /kc/bizlogic/product/diamond. I'm able to do that easily with Zope scripts using <dtml-var expr="kc.bizlogic.product.diamond.whateverscript">, but what about doing this with ZSQL methonds and dtml-in?
Have you read the Zope Book on acquisition? What does your folder hierarchy look like? If the method can be acquired, you don't need to do anything--Zope will do it for you.

I'm stuck trying to do something fairly basic with DTML: access an SQL method called previewsStagingList that is somewhere else in the folder hierarchy. I've tried numerous variant possibilities, such as
<dtml-in kc/bizlogic/product/diamond/previewsStagingList>
or
<dtml-in kc.bizlogic.product.diamond.previewsStagingList>
or
<dtml-in "../bizlogic/product/diamond/previewsStagingList">
or
<dtml-in expr = "kc.bizlogic.product.diamond.previewsStagingList"> (I think expr is just for Python scripts, according to the documentation I've seen, but I thought this worth a try.)
You get the idea. I've searched around for documentation on how to do this, and the closest thing I came up with was to use dtml-with, but had no luck with that either since dtml-with doesn't seem to accept any kind of folder paths. I tried nesting several dtml-with documents, which parsed ok but still didn't allow me to access the previewsStagingList ZSQL method.
I'm stuck. Please help!
Thanks!
