[Zope] Two in one?

Fun for all the family. I'm trying to produce a page that draws from
two databases following one friendly search. The first chunk of data
is from the search itself and returns, among others, an ID which I want
to pass into the second chunk to search it. Kinda like this:
Search page: blah
Report page: loop thru hits on "blah" in db1, any of 6 fields (name,
desc)
show id
show name
show desc...
loop thru hits in id db2
show users
show friendlynames
/loop
/loop
The problem I have is passing parameters to the db2 search. Even if I
set the SQL method to use a parameter with the same name as the var
returned by the first search, I get a Zope error telling me I'm not
passing enouh parameters to it. Testing the methods independently they
work fine.
So, (as usual) what's the no-brain bozo error I'm making? Is is
possible to programmatically pass variables around like this (surely it
is,this would be trivial in ASP/JSP)?
