ObjectValues returns a list of objects optionally filtered by meta_type.
To test for the existence of an id in a folder, the best way is
probably:

<dtml-if expr="'newclient' in folder.objectIds()">
...
</dtml-id>

Which will return true if 'newclient' is in the list of object ids for
the folder (you can omit the folder designation to refer to the current
folder, however if won't work without it if you code this in a DTML
document).
