[Zope-dev] Acquisition Confusion :S

[Chris Withers]

I still don't get this :(

Here's the situation:

A has attributes B and C, C has attribute D

my old working:

A.B.C.D = (B o A) : .C.D

        now, since C is found in A:

        = ((C o A) o (B o A)) : .D

        again since D is found in C:
         
        = ((D o C) o ((C o A) o (B o A)))

However, this:
> This last line should be (((D o C) o (C o A)) o ((C o A) o (B o A))), which

Implies that rather than the rule I was working on which was:
If X is found in Y, the next line becomes ((X o Y) o {the last line})

This rule applies:
If X is found in Y, then the next line becomes (((X o Y) o (wrapper of
which Y was either parent or self)) o {the last line})

Is this the case?

If so, why? ;-)

I still don't get this at all :(

I hoep someone can help more :~(

Similarly, does the dev-wiki still have a purpose? It feels like the
unmaintained precursor to dev.zope.org...

cheers,
