Do you want to simulate the hierarchy?
It would not be necessary from Zope's point of view...

If you want to, you could implement the hierarchy with appropriate
container objects inside your product class.

It might be possible that you can simply use "OFS.ObjectManager"s
as containers. But it may be possible that the
"Persistent" included in "ObjectManager" makes life a bit
difficult for you. If this would be the case, you would have
two options:

  1.  hack around persistence (by setting "_p_changed" to 0,
      after you have build the container)

  2.  build your own container.
      You may look at the "Products.CMFCore.DirectoryView" (part
      of CMF) on how to do this.
