[Zope-dev] What's the deal with sublocations?

[Stefan H. Holek]

Most ObjectEvents are dispatched to "sublocations". I was wondering  
whether it is ok for me to expect a certain dispatch order, i.e. top- 
down (container before sublocation) or bottom-up (sublocation before  
container)?

What I find is that this order depends on things like the exact  
interface a handler is registered for and, in Zope 2.9 (+3.2), even  
on the way I run tests (!).

I can only conclude that there is no guaranteed dispatch order. Now,  
should there be? Where can I learn about this contract?

Thanks,
Stefan
