[Zope] SESSION and REQUEST variables

[Kevin Smith]

That would be the first part: getting the instance from the SESSION 
variable.  Now I want to call a method on that instance which needs 
access to the REQUEST variable.

<span tal:define="myob request/SESSION/myob;
                                 result myob/getData"></span>

If the object were actually somewhere where acquisition could take over, 
I would be able to just use self.REQUEST, but it's just a transient 
object.
