[Zope] Addressing directories below current

[Alexander Staubo]

You're not quite at ease with this acquisition thing yet, are you? :-)

First of all, that should be

  <!--#with below-->
    <!--#var fragment-->
  <!--#/with-->

(you can also refer to the object as "below.fragment", but this means
something slightly different.)

Furthermore a generic solution would be

  <!--#with "PARENTS[1]"-->
    <!--#var fragment-->
  <!--#/with-->

Note that unless you're seeking to explicitly avoiding referring to
something in the same directory (for example, the above could be used to
build accumulative navigation bars), acquisition solves the problem of
referring to up-level objects.
