Its the idea that on your first try working with classes in python,
Zope, subclassing, etc. you could get it to work :)

Maybe its the idea of "a property" that is messing you up. (I'm working
with the same parent-parent-etc. thing.)

The idea I am using is to store (in the catalog) the result of a
external method that returns the parent-parent string. This way any
cut-paste-move that updates the catalog, gets the new values.

something simple (I'm no python expert... change as needed, meta_type
typing etc.)

"parents.py":
from string import split

def parents(self):
    parentsnames = split(self.absolute_url(),'/')[3:-1]
   # [3:-1] removes the host info or use something different to split
on..
   # the -1 removes the last element, i.e. self.id
    return parentsnames


I use something similiar to store the parents in my Zcatalogs.

You may need to resolve_url to get the objects and do your checking,
etc..

David
