If I have a folder structure like this: first second third fourth fifth and first defines a property X and third defines a property X (and nothing else defines proprty X) an first defines a method M And I do http://host/first/second/third/fourth/fifth What value of X would a method M see? The value first set or the value third set? What I'm seeing is this: with http://host/first/second/third, M sees the value that third set with http://host/first/second/third/fourth/fifth, M sees the value that first set I am using "Zope version: Zope 2.0.1 (source release, python 1.5.1, linux2) " Is this what is supposed to happen, or is this a bug that was fixed? I *think* I had it working such that M saw third's value at one point, then I changed the name of the property in question (and all the methods that reference it to reflect that). Now I see what I described above. If this is a bug, is there a work around? Desperate!
