Although not impossible, it is very unlikely that
"REQUEST['parametro']" is itself an object.
Almost surely, it is the name of an object (not the object
itself).

Whenever you have an expression that evaluates to an object
name (in your case "REQUEST['parametro']"), you can
use the function "_.getitem" to turn the name into the
corresponding object. In your case:

      <dtml-in "_.getitem(REQUEST['parametro']).objectValues()">
