[Zope] Var includes

[Shaw, Howard]

The challenge is that I have to do this using a string returned from an
SQL query. This string must specify a multi-part reference: that is, a
directory, and a file... 

Now, I can work around this by making it more structured; that is, the
includes can only be in directory X. But I would really like to be able
to put 'uid/studinfo' in the SQL and use that... 

Do I have to write an External Function to split the directory and
perform the equivalent of nested <!--#with-->'s to include this? I had
hoped for a simple DTML based solution.
