Whoops! sorry to add to the confusion. This _always_ gets me confused
;-\

The acquisition tree is (of course)

* (ac_context of foods, ac_context of root) cheese  -> gets index_html
from root 
* (ac_context root) all_about -> index_html already there
* (ac_context root) foods -> index_html already there

this only changes if you change the url to

http://zope:8080/foods/cheese/all_about/index_html, where
all_about has its own index_html so no further acquisition needed

The changes you could make are either to 
* remove the index_html from the root and add one to both of the sibling
folders (in which case the first index_html will be in the sibling
folder)
* not use sibling folders

Other ingenuous solutions could be possible, but will be hackish.
