Collecting objects according to type in folders is not
very Zope friendly. It is much better to group all objects
required for a (sub-)application (or task) together in a folder:
organisation according to task rather than according to type!
That said, you can use:
<dtml-with SUBDIRECTORY>
<dtml-var image>
</dtml-with>
