Solution: Re: [Zope] Testing for how an object is called.

[kosh@aesaeion.com]

I know it is in bad taste to reply to my own messages but I found what I
feel is an elegant solution and figured others might need something like
this at some point.

In the REQUEST the PUBLISHED item contains a reference to the final object
that draws to the screen. The test ends up being

if self.REQUEST.PUBLISHED is self:
	Draw however you want if your object is the final object
displaying. I used this area to draw with the object wrapped with the
header and footer.
else:
	Draw however you want when the object is included via some method
like a dtml-var call.

Have fun
