It depends on how you program your product. If instead of having your
pages layout hardcoded in your product you add document objects that
interact with your product, you've got it. The guestbook product in the
contrib dir has the layout hardcoded. The P MySQL Wizard adds document
objects that are editable. 

Another way is to have the hardcoded layout to acquire proprieties. My
pages all have the standard_html_header and footer around them. These
define the top and lateral navigation, just the central content of the
page is changed (the navigation is managed with acquisition).

Don't you know that there's nothing like Zope :-)
