Calling a DTML document from a non-DTML place requires several 
parameters (like the namespace and request.) Look it up in the source or 
on  zope.org or ZopeLabs. If Plone is in fact using these methods, if 
has to call them somewhere. Find it and emulate.

The newer Plones have entirely excised DTML, which was previously there 
only for backwards compatibility with DTML skins, and I don't think that 
older ones relied on it. You can probably use the main macro much more 
easily to get your Plone look than the DTML methods.
