That would be really really bad for many of us..

I can't reproduce this myself. Are you using DTML, PageTemplates,
something else?

I've tested this with Zope 2.5.1b1 with 'index_html' in a subfolder alpha,
and also a 'content' there which is used by the index_html. Folder beta is
inside alpha and only contains content. That works just fine; I see the
beta content when I go to /alpha/beta
