Here, you're getting an item with the literal id 'sequence-item'.

What you mean is to get the item with the id described by the variable 
sequence-item. So, use:

     <dtml-with "_.getitem(_['sequence-item'])">

Hope that helps.


This really is a zope@zope.org question, not a zope-dev@zope.org 
question. Please do try to choose the appropriate list for the question. 
Thanks.
