I am trying to make an object behave like a dtml-method but with one exception. I want it to look in itself first to find the data then look around it like a dtml-method does. So lets say my ojbect is called a and it exists in the folder foo in /foo/bar/baz/a I want it to look in its own vars first for the data it needs to render the dtml then look in baz bar foo just like a dtml-method does. Mainly I need this for my dtml to html generation function. Right now I am calling it with HTML(string, globals())(self, self.REQUEST) That works for giving the behavior that a dtml-document has but not for a dtml-method type behavior at least not so far.
