How about simple acquisition?
eg
Folder A
| --Method AAA
   | --Folder B
   |
          |-- Method AAA
Method AAA in Folder B will be found by acquisition before Method AAA in
Folder A (assuming you set up the path that way).
I'm a big fan of acquisition myself, but in this case the method is generally 
called in the context of the object itself e.g.:

context.acl_users.userFolderDelUsers(stuff)

Which won't acquire anything but the method.  The reason I want to avoid a 
subclass or monkey patch is that I want to override what this method does for 
this one instance of an already populated acl_users without changing it in 
any other way.
