[Zope] How to make two racks work under one specialist?

Hi Dirksen,

Hmm.. this is starting to look like a bug. I tried the same thing with the
ZPatterns example. I have a real site using this technique with ZPatterns-0.4.2a??
and it's working, so it's probably something introduced in 0.4.3. Here's what I 
did:

I created a new Specialist 'Facade' with a DataSkinAddons:DummyDataSkin
as it's storage class and 'originalObject' as the attribute to check
for existence.

Then I put in the following SkinScript:

WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE originalObject=(RESULT is _.None) and NOT_FOUND or RESULT

WITH self.originalObject COMPUTE name

and ran in 'debug mode.' I get the following traceback on the console when I
try to access a known deliverable through the Facade Specialist:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns/AttributeProviders.py, line 304, in _AttributeFor
    (Object: GAPMixin)
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns/Expressions.py, line 122, in eval
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 337, in eval
    (Object: Deliverables . getItem ( self . id  ))
    (Info: Deliverables)
  File <string>, line 0, in ?
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 140, in careful_getattr
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns/Expressions.py, line 53, in validate
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/AccessControl/SecurityManager.py, line 139, in validate
  File /usr/local/etc/Zope2a/lib/python/AccessControl/ZopeSecurityPolicy.py, line 159, in validate
Unauthorized: id

I tried stepping through with the debugger... but got lost in the details of the 
GAP evaluator. I'll try again after breakfast and see what I can come up with.

;-)

Look on the bright side. You're making ZPatterns a better product.
