Aren't you getting my posts?
There are a myriad ways to do this stuff. Examples:
(1)
<dtml-var "Top.Child">
(2)
<dtml-var "Top['Child']">
(3)
<dtml-with Top>
<dtml-var Child>
<dtml-with>
(4)
<dtml-with Top>
<dtml-var "_.getitem('Child', 1)">
</dtml-with>
So given your example, you might do:
<dtml-var "Top[id + '_content']">
