Acquisition!  Product class instances which inherit from the
correct base classes will acquire properly.  So inside a method
for your Product class, you can:

self.db_connection.do_something()

presuming "db_connection" is the id of a Zope object that will
be acquired from your Product.  You could also store the "URL"
of the object you want to use as a string and then use
restrictedTraverse(string) to get a handle to the object itself.
