Oleg,

what might come handy in your case is the howto "Shane's Aquisition
Understander" at

 http://www.zope.org/Members/chrisw/showaq

it'll help you visualize the acquisition path from your document.

You may also want to look at my howto Changing Contexts in Zope

Or Jim's acquisition algebra from a Python point of view of these matters:
