You use "getProperty" to check for a property of an object
(--> Zope online help -> Zope Help -> API reference -> Object manager).

You use method "aq_parent" (or "aq_inner" followed by "aq_parent") to
access the parent.

To understand, where you are, and how many "aq_parent" you need to
use, you can use Shane's "showaq" method (--> list archives).
