I think in principal it should work the sameway as it is done with the 
standard mgmt. screens, i.e. declaring manage_top_frame = DTMLFile(...) 
in your class.
But, and that is a big but, you are dependent on how manage_top_frame is 
called in the ZMI, and I expect it to be called absolutely - check the 
source for that - so that your products manage_to_frame won't be called.
To remedy that, you'll need some javascript in the main mgmt. view of 
your product to update the topframe when it's viewed.
