 Uh, I am sorry I do not understand what You mean. Do You want to add
several properties at once?

That is an easy one:

 Everything inheriting from OFS.PropertyManager.PropertyManager 
does have methods to access the properties; Folders do so. e.g. You
could say

 context.getProperty("foo_bar","foo_bar_default")

More in the Online Help:  "Zope Help" -> "API Reference" -> "PropertyManager"

Cheers,
