[Zope] Acquisition Problem

[James W. Howe]

I have a Folder structure which looks something like this:

FolderA
	FolderB
	FolderC

In FolderA I have a DTMLMethod which iterates over all of its subfolders 
and invokes a method for each folder in turn called "sidebarTitle".  The 
actual implementation of sidebarTitle resides in FolderA.  It does some 
work and then attempts to invoke methods which are defined in FolderB and 
FolderC.  When the iterating method gets invoked in FolderA it properly 
invokes the sidebarTitle method.  However, when the sidebarTitle method 
tries to invoke the methods which are defined in FolderB and FolderC I get 
a KeyError message.  I can't figure out why the DTMLMethod isn't being 
found.   My actual code looks like this:

DTMLMethod rsidebar  (Defined in FolderA)

<dtml-let originator=id>
    <dtml-with FolderA>
       <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])" sort=folderOrder>
           <dtml-var "sidebarTitle(sender=id, base=originator)">
       </dtml-in>
    </dtml-with>
</dtml-let>

DTMLMethod sidebarTitle (Defined in FolderA)

<dtml-if "sender == base">
    <dtml-var expandedSidebar>
<dtml-else>
    <dtml-var simpleSidebar>
</dtml-if>

DTMLMethod expandedSidebar (Defined in FolderB)

Expanded FolderB Content

DTMLMethod simpleSidebar (Defined in FolderB)

Simple FolderB Content

DTMLMethod expandedSidebar (Defined in FolderC)

Expanded FolderC Content

DTMLMethod simpleSidebar (Defined in FolderC)

Simple FolderC Content

If I change the code in the sidebarTitle method to simply display text 
rather than attempting to invoke the expandedSidebar and simpleSidebar 
methods, the output is what I would expect to see.  However, when the 
methods are used I get a KeyError on simpleSidebar.

Any idea on what might be happening?

Thanks.
