Without seeing your code, it's hard to know where the problem is. Start with a minimal product, see below) and try to import that. You can grow from there.

If you restart Zope, the product should reappear, as far as I know. As for working with test code, if you put a file called refresh.txt in your product dir, you can reload your product from the manager interface without restarting zope.
