[Zope] Var includes

[Shaw, Howard]

Well, I thought this would do, so I let it sit while I built a new
webserver. Now I am back to work on Zope, sitting on my new server, and
I find that I'm not sure I fully comprehend these instructions. 

What I need to do, is to 'include,' in the same way the default document
says '<!--#var standard_html_header-->' a document whose location I
receive from an sql query in the form of 'dir/dir/dir/.../file' with an
arbitrary number of directories. It is not an object whose namespace I
need to enter. Rather, I need to get into the namespace of the last dir,
so I can #var include the file.

Please help.
