Aha. That is more complex.

I don't know if this is the BEST way to do what you want, but you could do:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('objnames', _.string.split(item, '.'))">
<dtml-with "_[objnames[0]]">
<dtml-with "_[objnames[1]]">
<dtml-with "_[objnames[2]]">
...your other stuff...

</dtml-with>
</dtml-with>
</dtml-with>
