You get the key error in 4 because you were
calling folder2.method2 from method1, I guess
David missed that:


=> >I have:-
=> >
=> >Folder1
=> >  - method1
=> >Folder2
=> >  - method2  <- this method calls method3
=> >  - method3

=> >>From  method1
=> ><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('variable','value')">  <- I want to set some

=> ><dtml-var "folder2.method2">
=> >

=> >

So if the folder above folder2 and folder1 is the root folder
I think
<dtml-var "PARENTS[-1].folder2.method2( _.None, _ )">
should do it. 

If your folders are subfolders of the folder "parentfolder",
you can use
<dtml-var "parentfolder.folder2.method2( _.None, _ )">.

hope this helps,
