Yes. At least, using default__class_init__ will work on Zope 2.2 and 2.3.
I don't know whether InitializeClass is in Zope 2.2, but it is definitely in Zope 2.3.

Sorry -- my imprecise language!
"import Globals" needs to be in the .py file that your
class is defined in, at the module level of indentation.
You're importing Globals so that you can use it in the 
module rather than in the Class definition.

After the class definition, so, qiute probably at the end of the file.
