Additionally:

Is your root index_html a DTML Method or a DTML Document?

If it's a DTML Method, it should work as you desire; DTML Methods are the 
odd bird, and acquire differently than everyone else. DTML Methods
acquire other objects from the context in which they are called. This is
how standard_html_header and standard_html_footer work.

DTML Documents, however, acquire like every other Zope object, and will
behave as you have described: acquire text_object_1 and text_object_2
from the actual location of the DTML Document.
