Well, sometimes objectItems or objectValues can be the right ones to
use.  Other times, (in Python Products at least) you use _getOb() to
fetch the object for you.

Let's say you have this object structure:

        /Folder1
                /Folder2

If you (in Python code) have Folder1 in the namespace, as self for
example, you can say object=self._getOb('Folder2'), and ṿila. :)
Don't know how you would do that in DTML, though.
