This is exactly what I want to do ie. process "something".

The best way to describe this is with an example I suppose.  I have a
specialist "Products" and nested within "Products" is another specialist
"Modules".

The current status quo:
 I go to a Product dataskin with a url like Products/<product_id>.
 I go to a Module dataskin with a url like Products/Modules/<module_id>

Where I want to be:
 The url to the Product dataskin stays the same.
 I go to a Module dataskin with url like Products/<product_id>/<module_id>

As I see it the <module_id> is like the "something" you mentioned above. 
The module dataskin would obviously not be found by the Products
specialist, and in that case I simply want to tell it to go look in the
Modules specialist for the module.

I hope this makes more sense, if not I'll be glad to explain more.

Many thanks
