Imagine folder structure (at Zope 2.5.1):

Method1 Method2 object2 object1 +------object3

Method1 (simplified) return object2!!!

<dtml-with object1> <dtml-with aq_explicit> <dtml-try> <dtml-var object2> <dtml-except> </dtml-try> </dtml-with> </dtml-with>

It does not matter, how much <dtml-with aq_explicit> tags you define, with only one works like with paranoid-wide spread <dtml-with aq_explicit> tags. I was play with "only" appendics in dtml-with tag, but no success until I make Method2

Method2 (simplified) works as expected and render nothing:

<dtml-with object1> <dtml-if "_.hasattr(aq_explicit, 'object2')"> <dtml-var object2> </dtml-if> </dtml-with>

Does aq_explicit fail if is used with <dtml-try> tags or I am weak?

No. "aq_explicit" works the same way with "dtml-with" and without. Note, that "aq_explicit" is not safe. From 2.6.2 on, you can use "aq_inner.aq_explicit" (which is safe). But, this is not your problem. I expect your problem is how DTML lookup works: "dtml-with" pushes the object onto the DTML namespace stack. "aq_explicit" will not be able to resolve "object2" but the "object1" above will. You get it from there. A "dtml-with aq_explicit only" should have worked, though. -- Dieter
