[Zope] Searching through PARENTS

Is there a way for a DTMLMethod to determine if a particular folder is in 
its acquisition path?  For example, suppose I have the following structure:

/
      FolderA
           FolderB
               FolderC
           FolderD
               FolderE

If I define a method which actually resides in FolderA (and is therefore 
inherited by subfolders), is there way for me to check to see if FolderB is 
in my PARENTS collection?

If I was displaying /FolderA/FolderB/FolderC I would want my method to 
answer true to the question of whether or not FolderB was in my PARENTS 
collection.  Howerver if I was displaying /FolderA/FolderD/FolderE, the 
answer would be false.

What I really want to know is if there is a syntax which can answer the 
question

PARENTS contains "<some id>"

Thanks.
