[Zope] Acquisition problem

Right, we have:

Root = ErrorsToProperty
|
+ - standard_error_message
|
+ - method2
| 
+ - Folder = ErrorsToProperty
    |
    + - method
    |
    + - method1

Now if method generates an error, I guess standard_error_message gets called in
the context of the root object, and so the root's ErrorsToProperty gets used.

Hmmm, which raises two interesting questions, which might be the same, but
probably aren't:

1. How can I make standard_error_message (in root) use the correct   
ErrorsToProperty?

2. In general, how can I make method2, called(and acquired) by method1, use
a       
   property of method1's container in preference to the same property of 
   method2's container? 
   (see the diagram above if your head hurts as much as mine does ;-)
