from the top of my head:
<dtml-in "objectValues('Folder')">
  <dtml-in "_['sequence-item'].objectValues('DTML Document')">

means, 1) in all folders 2) in all their Documents

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZopeBook/AppendixB.stx
class ObjectManager, method objectValues()

objectValues(type=None)
This method returns a sequence of contained objects.
      Like objectItems and objectIds, it accepts one argument,
      either a string or a list to restrict the results to objects
      of a given meta_type or set of meta_types.
