I assume that you mean "everytime I call the dtml-method in the same 
request ...", i.e. if you do a reload on that page,  you won't get this 
appending, right?
But anyway, there's ZopeFind which can do that job for you, try that in 
a python script:

startfolder = container

list = container.ZopeFind(
     startfolder,
     obj_metatypes=['File'],
     search_sub = 1)

return list

where startfolder is the folder which should be the root of the hierachy 
you want to search in.

This returns a list of tuples (object_id, object) analogous to 
objectValues(), but recursive.
