A method takes the context of whatever you call it in. If fiche were a
DTML document, it might be easier, because then you could call [frame
method] in the context of fiche using acquisition like so:

http://myserver/folder/fiche/frame_method

frame_method would look like (it would need to live at or above all
fiche methods):

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD> ...</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><dtml-var name="this"></TD></TR>
<TR><TD> ...</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

"this" would then refer to the current context which would be whatever
fiche preceeded it in the URL. If fiche must be a DTML Method, then this
might work:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD> ...</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><dtml-var expr="PARENTS[0]"></TD></TR>
<TR><TD> ...</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
