Again, it comes down to instantiation. I would need:

  class MyClass:

      myAttr2 = app.Control_Panel.Products.MyProduct.MyZClass('id')

and we're back to not having app, again.

Also, myAttr2 is volatile. Each instance of MyClass should have its own
instance of myAttr2; a class attribute would not give the desired
semantics.

I wish it were that easy.

Thanks,
