Well, I thought this would do, so I let it sit while I built a new webserver. Now I am back to work on Zope, sitting on my new server, and I find that I'm not sure I fully comprehend these instructions. What I need to do, is to 'include,' in the same way the default document says '<!--#var standard_html_header-->' a document whose location I receive from an sql query in the form of 'dir/dir/dir/.../file' with an arbitrary number of directories. It is not an object whose namespace I need to enter. Rather, I need to get into the namespace of the last dir, so I can #var include the file. Please help.

Do I have to write an External Function to split the directory and perform the equivalent of nested <!--#with-->'s to include this? I had hoped for a simple DTML based solution.
<!--#in expr="_.string.split(location, '/')"--> <!--#if sequence-start--> <!--#call "REQUEST.set('strFolder', _['sequence-item'])"--> <!--#else--> <!--#call "REQUEST.set('strDocument', _['sequence-item'])"--> <!--#/if--> <!--#/in-->
Now we have altered the namespace. Now, these objects, are they _IN_ the current folder (i.e. in folder temp_people the folder uid the object studinfo)? Then you do:
<!--#in expr="_.getitem(strFolder).objectItems(['Folder'])"--> <!--#if "_['sequence-key'] == strDocument"--> <!--#with sequence-item--> <!--#var title--> <== now in the namespace of the subobject <!--#/with--> <!--#/if--> <!--#/in-->
Took me a minute, but it works.
