You're URL is a relative one. The browser sees 'Top', and requests the
object Top with the current Base URL, which is localhost/Top/F2/. And
because of Aquisition, Top.F2.Top exists.... And so will
Top.F2.Top.F2.Top.F2.... which can get you into a nice caching problem.

Your URL should include the realitve path to the subfolder. the var
tree-item-url gives you the URL to the current object, relative to the base
object.

Your code should read (untested):
<A HREF="<!--#var URL1-->/<!--#var tree-item-url-->"><!--#var id--></A>

Or words to that effect..
