Of course you dont make your ZPT pages attributes of the misc_
resource!
See how the other products handle it!
They become class attributes (rather methods!)
and are therefore accessible in the context of
the instance. This has to be so because I
think you will have some display in it to
refer to something related to the actual
instance you are working on.

Redesign your product this way and I believe it
will work as expected.
