ZPT wants to restrict the magic....

  Therefore, this is not possible, at least not directly...

  You can obtain it indirectly though a DTML object.

  ZPT "z1" calls an intermediate DTML object "d".
  Its namespace contains all of "z1"'s variables.
  "d" calls "z2" and passes "_" as keyword parameter, say
  "context". Then "z2" can use "options['context']" (Python)
  or "options/context" (path expression) to access "z1"'s
  namespace...
