It wouldn't be too hard;  basically, the approach would be make the 
current "subcontainers" (the Scripts, Transitions, etc. objects) behave 
like "layered" containers (their '_getOb', 'objectIds', etc. would look 
"up" to the parent, too).

The only really *hard* part about it would be the lack of unittests for 
DCWorkflow.
