[Zope] How can folder address its contents?

[Robert W. Erb]

Stephen -

First, thanks for the help.

I'm lost.  I created a DTML Document in a folder called "eScream".
The whole contents of this document are:

<dtml-in use_cases>
  <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'].id">
</dtml-in>

There's a folder called use_cases in the current folder.  In
use_cases, there are a bunch of DTML Methods.

When I run the code above, I get this error:

Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: hasattr, argument 2: expected string, int found

So I'm thinking maybe I'm too far gone.  Maybe I don't know
what I thought I knew I thought about.

Here's the traceback.  Any ideas?

Traceback (innermost last):
