To be a little bit more verbose than Chris, imagine copying and pasting 
  this instance. Or if you have this setting:

Folders a,b, both subfolders of c, and you do something like

c.a.b.manage_addProduct['yourProduct'].addYourProduct( ... ).

What exactly is the "context" now?

See above, where would the folder be added?

Are you both, Bogdan and David, talking about "context" as in the 
context occuring with python scripts, perhaps?
