I do use much SQL and the REQUEST is necessary to pass session 
data and url parameters between requests.

Here is one use but the technique is used widely throughout a couple of
applications:

<form action="/grp/Forum/forumScripts/newMsg" method="post">

and the tail end of the action:

  ...
  body = context.grExternal.convertText(body)
  container.grp.Forum.forumSQL.sqlNewMsg(body=body, userid=userid, subject=subject, forumid=forumid)
  return container.grp.Forum.forumScripts.viewForum()

and the tail end of the script called by newMsg:

 ...
 return container.grp.Forum.forumPages.forum_frontpage(container.grp, container.REQUEST)

Here is part of the site structure:

/grp/Forum
/grp/Forum/forumPages
/grp/Forum/forumScripts
/grp/Forum/formSQL

I discovered yesterday that the problem isn't evident if all scripts and pages
are contained within one folder.
