I've created two objects, A folderish object called myfolder, and a
document-type object called mydocument.  Here's how my classes are
defined...
class mydocument(
          CatalogAware,
          Implicit,
          Persistent,
          RoleManager,
          PropertyManager,
          Item):
class myfolder(
          CatalogAware,
          Implicit,
          Persistent,
          RoleManager,
          PropertyManager,
          Folder)
So, say I have a hierarchy like this...
/
/ObjectA
/folder
/folder/mydocument ( an instance of mydocument)
/folder/myfolder (an instance of myfolder)
/folder/myfolder/ObjectA
Ok.. I want to be able to call
http://mysite/folder/mydocument/ObjectA 
 - this works fine
http://mysite/folder/myfolder/ObjectA
- this works fine
http://mysite/folder/myfolder/mydocument/ObjectA
- this returns the ObjectA at '/ObjectA', I'd like it to return ObjectA
at '/folder/myfolder/ObjectA'
Any ideas how I would go about making this happen?
It will not work as acquisition works differently...

You should read Jim's acquisition lecture "Containment before Context".
It tells you why acquisition will not do what you like.
