Depends on what you need it for.  You can obviously acquire from the
"real" container, or the factory methods would be unable to insert the
new object:

def addFoo( self, id )
  """ Add a foo to a container.
  """
  foo = Foo()
  self._setObject( id, foo )

If it really does matter, the acquisition chain of 'self' looks like
this:

  pdb> p self.aq_chain
  [<__FactoryDispatcher__ instance at 934cf38>, <ProductDispatcher
instance at 8216c70>, <PortalFolder instance at 92ebe18>...]

so the "real" container would be:
  'aq_parent( aq_parent( aq_inner( self ) ) )'

Tres.
