are you sure that index_html is a DTML method and not a DTML document?  This
should work (and it does, because I do this), but only if index_html is a
method, because when it is acquired by the "about" folder it takes on the
context of the folder.  If index_html was a document, it has its own context
when acquired and will pick up its methods from the origal location (as you
seem to be experiencing).
