Thanks for all the responses. I think I need to clarify the question. A product I just built "drops" dtml-documents with empty properties at any destination folder, at any part of the tree (as it's supossed a product to work). The product also creates a method within a subfolder, intended to use the properties from the correspondant dtml-document. The product at first inquiries for an id, and then it creates both the object and the method, both sharing the same requested id. Like this: any_folder.objectid (objectid been a document) any_folder.subfolder.objectid (objectid been a method ) In addition to standard header and footer tags, each one of those two objects has one single tag wich calls a method: <dtml-var doc_content> for the document <dtml-var method_content> for the method Each one of these two "submethods"(doc_content and method_content) displays the current object's properties, and are located at the root of the site, so they can be called from any folder. Document 'objectid' renders nicely this way, but I have problems with method 'objectid´, because it must use properties from an object with the same name, but located in a previous folder. How can I do that? I'd love to have something like this (for method_content, at the root) <dtml-with "previous_folder_of_objectid.objectid_translated_to_namespace"> <dtml-var anyproperty> </dtml-with> (where, after resolving, 'the_previous_folder_of_objectid' returns the first previous folder to the one containing the method, that is 'any_folder' ) Thanks for reading until this point. Even when I used them when creating the product, I'm a little confused about namespace and strings stuff, so please include an example if possible. Thanks again, Ausum
