Do the objects catalog themselves, or are you using Find?

Acquisition is based on the context in which you access objects.  If you
you find, for example, you will be accessing the objects in the context
of the catalog, not in the context of their parents.

If objects catalog themselves when created/moved (ie, CatalogAwareness)
they index themselves in the context of the request that created them,
in the constructor of your ZClass, you can essentially manipulate in
what context you want your object to be indexed.

It's really kinda complicated actually.
