It was very much alike, but you were right ;-).

The difference was that I did a

(sort of cut down pseudocode)

<dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ZECF']">
   <dtml-in obligatoryitems>
     <dtml-call "ZECItem_add(_['sequence-item'], REQUEST)">
   </dtml-in>
</dtml-with>


in which case the dtml-in interferes badly with the dtml-with

so turning it around to
<dtml-in obligatoryitems>
   <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ZECF']">
     <dtml-call "ZECItem_add(_['sequence-item'], REQUEST)">
   </dtml-with>
</dtml-in>


which works.
So is this subtle or what ?! But at least it's consistent

Ah, yes. No need for that for me

Hm. You don't want me to send some of the clobbered stuff I put together
then. Still, I don't see how to do this in a cleaner way in a Python Method
(it will look cleaner, but the voodoo will be about the same unless I'm
badly mistaken).

Thanks (and Kevin also) for your help in sorting this out.
