OK, this isn't immediately obvious to me. Why?
Hi Daryl - DTML Methods and ExternalMethods (I suppose PythonMethods too) are special in that they 'attach' to the object that calls them. (At least this is how I understand it because even though they don't add their own namespace in the stack, they still don't obey regular acquisition rules. If I am wrong I hope someone can correct me). Generally I find that in most situations having standard_html_header/footer and index_html as DTMlMethods is more appropriate. Pavlos
