This base class would be DocumentFolder.

I have tried using the methods from DocumentFolder in the subclasses, 
but it did not work. 

I get an AttributeError when I delete link_methods & list_methods in
a subclass and use the ones from DocumentFolder.

You are right generally, but in this special case, I had to make a hack !
The ZClasses have really weird behaviour, and you need all kinds of
workarounds to get what you want.
